this is a joke but it also isn’t. Donald Trump learned his entire political media strategy from studying professional wrestling. same strategy will immediately be successful against him

unironically my solution for the opposition party’s media strategy that would completely decimate the republicans is to have your Guy just talk and act *exactly* like WWF era The Rock. that shit will put up FDR numbers instantly

2000s indie hit so hard, to my ears, bc it straddled this perfect line between pop accessibility and weirdo experimentation. been bereft of many acts that have purposely walked that tightrope since (most nowadays stay in one or the other lane)
