It is 2040.

I'm in a warehouse ventilated by one window fan, keying every joke I've ever written into an AI called Yuk. A track-mounted robotic arm arrives at my workstation to shoot a nutrient gel directly down my throat. I'm paid monthly in access to premium pornography and DraftKings credits.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Trump comments on the opposition: "I thought [I] would be met with fury on the left, but they're sort of giving up."

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?
