Ummm, how to even write about this?

Well, for one, we can start off with the irony in the fact that the man who has played the monstrous, crazy, grumpy, Facebook, uncle for the past four years is comfortable calling anyone names. There is also the fact that the man who cannot navigate a gentle slope at West Point is calling someone else a zombie (which aren’t really known for their flexibility or athleticism), and yet that’s exactly what Donald Trump plans to do when running an ad which discussed how people might spot a zombie – and Joe Biden might fit the bill.

According to Mediaite:

The ad is titled “How to Spot a Zombie,” which the Trump campaign says will air during zombie TV shows Fear the Walking Dead,  and The Walking Dead: World Beyond, appears to be a joke to run the week before Halloween and mocks the former vice president’s appearance.

“Here’s how you can spot a zombie,” the spot opens with 5-bit graphics and cheesy 80s theme music. “Look for someone with a corpse-like appearance, exhibits aggressive behavior, craves human flesh, and utters incoherent moans and groans.” Viewers predictably see and hear the unflattering Biden moments before the 15-second spot concludes with “With your help, we can prevent the zombie uprising.”

Yes, this ad is meant to be funny in an ironically detached manner. But given that many QAnon conspiracy followers genuinely believe that Democratic leaders are part of a secret cabal of satanic and cannibalistic pedophiles, there is certain to be some viewers of this video that somehow take it earnestly.

Now, we can have a little fun with this because zombies are not known to have sentience or consciousness – that’s sort of the definition of a zombie. So, let’s say that Donald Trump is even accurate in calling Biden a Zombie (just play along), let’s say he’s accurate. What the fck does that make Donald Trump, the man who got his phat ass kicked, not once, not twice, but even while bailing from a third debate? We ask, is there a category for that type of person?

“Data,” the character from Star Trek, when shut off? We will take suggestions.

Peace, y’all
