    Maybe someone can sell this game to Parker Brothers and they can totally subvert the meaning of it like they did with Monopoly.

    Edit: Also-

    The goal is to get 100 ballots and make it to the final room, where former President Donald Trump waits for players so that he can take them on his helicopter and change the results of the 2020 election to his favor “or ratify the real results of the 2020 election,” which amounts to winning the game.

    Are they fucking serious?

        I just love that Trump is going to take them away in his helicopter like some sort of cross between Peter Pan and Top Gun.

          Considering Tom Cruise has already spent way too much money trying to hold on to his youth, I’d say Top Gun was already Peter Pan-esque.

          I mean, guy certainly never grew up and to this day lives in the fantasy land of Scientology.

          But yes, the imagery in this game is wild. A helicopter isn’t even a great method of transportation! Why is it always a helicopter?? They have super limited range, it’s not like it could cart the lard-ass all the way back to Mar-a-Lago.

          Oh, I know. They do to exhaust us and it fucking works.

          It’s an expression of power to not be limited by pesky things like facing reality.

          It’s literally the only language they speak and I’m pretty fucksure we gotta start speaking their own language to win.

      Are they fucking serious?

      The board game, a parody surrounding the events of January 6, was created by TrueAnon, a left-wing political podcast hosted by Brace Belden and Liz Franczak and produced by Yung Chomsky. As of Tuesday, it is the ninth-ranked podcast on Patreon.

      No, not at all. The group is a popular leftist podcast. No chance in hell this is serious.

      This is just poe’s law at work.
