    As we learned from Superman (2025) and Zootopia 2, all that’s required to stop the bad guys is reveal their evil to the public. Then they will magically lose their power and be held accountable. What’s that? The crimes of Trump’s regime have already been exposed repeatedly? But they haven’t been arrested, removed from power, or even lost much reputation? Fuck, now what?

      It’s frustrating how many people actually think the world is like a superhero movie.

      It also doesn’t help that we teach history in the same form as well. Rarely much time spent on the unnamed masses that actually make things change. And if we do it’s only because they protested peacefully a lot. Or were justified in fighting some “ultimate evil” that liberals will only agree exists decades after the fact.
