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.

At #Westmoot25, the Athrabeth podcast presented, “The Unsung Underachievers of Tolkien’s Legendarium” with special guest Knewbettadobetta, each choosing a character from Tolkien’s work who they think did not live up to their potential, the ‘wet noodles’ of Arda.
