The Postman by David Brin.

He was a survivor—a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war. Fate touches him one chill winter’s day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.

I’ve never seen the movie, so I plan to watch it after.

Don’t get too close or they’ll charge you. And water should be free.

It has to do with going alt-right. Elle Reeve wrote a book about it. If you prefer video, she did an interview with Adam Conover.

Definitely savory. We enjoyed them with a store-bought street corn dip.

On the contrary, during World War II, French prostitutes would purposely spread venereal disease to nazis. They would also get nazis hooked on heroin.

Unfortunately, MAGAs tend to already have both those issues.

Also, you’re being co-habited by just a massive amount of bacteria, each of which has their own priorities.

Because you don’t want your voters to have to think about nuanced issues. You want them to react with pure emotion.
