A meme screenshot from the TV series “Home Improvement”. During a Halloween episode, teenager Randy Taylor is pictured in the kitchen discussing his Halloween plans with his mother (not pictured). The text on the meme reads “Watching in 1997: Ah yes, a lighthearted Republican joke on a family friendly sitcom. Amusing.” The next paragraph reads “Watching in 2026: squirms in discomfort”. The punchline on the meme is dialogue from Randy Taylor, displayed as subitles on the meme, which reads: “Yeah. We’re going as the scariest people we could think of: Republicans”.

    We really need to start teaching modern history to kids as it happens…

    The younglings honestly don’t understand this has been happening for decades before trump showed up.

    The silver lining is trump is so fucking bad at selling it, that damn near everyone is realizing what he’s doing. They thought Iran would get them support, but it’s fairly obvious they know how calendars and our government works…

    They’ll drag it out till midterms with likely escalations leading up to election day. Everytime trump mitigates gas prices and brags, Iran can just squeeze harder.

    Reminiscent of Nixon with Vietnam, except no one has to convince Iran they’re better off with a muzzled trump than one who can do anything he wants with the American military.
