Isn’t this the plot of Idiocracy?

I don’t even follow sports, and I was outraged by Russia being awarded host in 2018. All the experts said England should have won that bid.

Okay, but how far back does this go? It can’t really be that all games in existence that ran on Windows is being counted. Is it?

My mom bought a BMW from her cousin that had an odd fuel line. Nothing was technically wrong but you could smell the fuel when the engine was on. Eventually she gave it back.

Rufus would probably tell you there is no such thing as Rufus.

Does Bender actually say bags of mostly water? Because that is a Star Trek reference.

Preunion tour? They will do a tour in honor for reuniting before they break up?

I’m a 34-year-old male and I still love that song.

There is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.

MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.

Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.
