Even Nixon’s head as President of Earth ran a weirdly benign and relatively competent administration as President of Earth. Yes, because Futurama is a comedy, but with all of these fictional Presidents, I think many Americans have (or hopefully had) little concept of just how much of our stability and prosperity actually was due to the government. Fictional accounts of how badly a President can fuck the U.S. just wouldn’t’ve landed as plausible with a general audience.
Man, I wish we could elect Lex. He was a full-on criminal, but he took care of what was his. I would disagree with his stance on aliens, but I bet he would give us healthcare on a whim.
Hannibal preferred intimate one-on-one murders. I doubt he would kill more than 100 people while in office.
More US citizens died to COVID than all wars, and Trump told people not to wear masks or quarantine. That alone got him on the death toll leaderboard.
My uncle and cousin died after catching COVID at a superspreader event shortly after his speech. I bet Hannibal Lecter would never have even come close to killing my personal relatives.
Trump vs. Hannibal lector, you have to pick one, what do you choose? it’s a tough choice
I’ve been reading political novels since about 6th Grade.
There’s never been a fictional US President as bad as the reality of Trump. And I include Lex Luthor from the Superman comics.
I agree

He can’t run for President because he’s not a natural US citizen!
Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.

Are Superman comics considered political novels?
There was that Slim Nietzsche guy though.
🎵 God is who? God is what? God is… chicka chicka… dead?
Go to bed and/or sober up.
No it isn’t. At least Lecter is smart and understands cause and effect.
He might be less corrupt than Trump too

I don’t recall Hannibal Lector favoring children, so…
At least Hannibal had a functioning brain that could maintain coherence.
