From the Lore Master’s mouth to Ilúvatar’s ears.
You recall the Council of Elrond, where the decision was made to take the ring to Mordor? Well, tune in to @athraplay.athrabeth.com episode 26 for the less impactful, but far funnier Dinner Party of Elrond!

So apparently, the US Gov, in their most recent series of dog whistles, are pulling LOTR references and are outright saying that their fascist reign of terror is akin to protecting the Shire. Absolutely fucking not. The comparison is a straightforward dogwhistle, don't let them confuse you.
