Remember when the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "The Running Man" came out in 1987?

Remember being shocked by how vile and violent-loving the audience was depicted in the movie's futuristic game show?

CNNs failed Town Hall and audience behavior has convinced me we're living that "vile" future now.

I shit you not. I remember being in my teens and laughing to myself "Hah....Justice Department, Entertainment Division".

Holy shit does it seem more possible than ever.

And good GOD does Richard Dawson not remind you of someone hosting a reality competition show from our not to distant past???

When you consider we have QAnon believers calling for political beheadings and executions by fire squad, and other RW nuts who believe that Dems are blood-sucking pedophiles in literal terms...it makes it alarming possible!

If against all odds Trump wins 2024, this may become more of a reality tha

Given how so many people decided to hate-watch this garbage fire in the name of "vigilance", I have a vastly different conclusion on how far the failure goes.

After all the damage he has caused and continues to wreak on this nation, I can no longer handle the sound of his voice. Apparently others have a stronger stomach than I do.

I'll be watching for the ratings outcome, though. Maybe still enough of us backed a boycott to make it hurt.

I remember the television show and ads on RoboCop, thinking that level of crap would never come about, but here we are.
