It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Residence at Whitminster.
There's just something bleakly comical about how Muir continues to think Trump is sharp as a tack, and thus doesn't need to be criticized for his age.

The Trump supporters do continue to live with this delusion that he's brilliant in a way that is untouched by age, even as he deteriorates even more in a very public and obvious fashion.
ReplyDeleteInteresting note about this plotline: in the comments, Muir notes that he wants to bring the younger children into the stories more (and is trying to remember all the kids + their respective ages). I'm wondering what's going on there. Is he going to try to make this more MAGA family-friendly somehow? Hard to believe. Anyway, hence the somewhat clunky re-introduction of Eva here.
I just saw that!
DeleteUnreal. He doesn't even know the ages of his own characters' kids.
And he's asking his READERS to help him out.
Just....wow.
It was clear to me long ago that to Muir, the kids are mostly props, not characters. With the possible exception of Javier, who actually has a (shallowly explored) identity, none of the others are anything but ciphers --- until they're suddenly soap opera-aged so that they can become sex objects.
All that was already obvious. But this?? This just emphasizes how true that really was.
Even most of the readers don't seem to know.
Garry Trudeau never lost track of his vast, sprawling cast, and only ever wrote one glaring continuity blunder I can think of.
All I can say is this is what happens when you keep having your cast members get pregnant to indulge your breast-feeding fetish.
DeleteExactly, John. That, and the kids ARE props, for Muir's "we must procreate more, especially the whites!" ideology, and not much else, which explains their nonexistent personalities.
DeleteI tend to think they started as more symbols of virility than as attached to any particular program, though yes, the 'we need to fight the Great Replacement' bit worked its way in. Muir always finds the crazy bullshit that reinforces his essential awfulness.
