I hope video links are okay. This one is as good as any picture meme, but with a catchy beat.
My favorite line is
Its a bad move to trust in the wrinkled husk of a satsuma that went off before!

Not that I disagree with the points, but this sure feels cringey.

Today I saw a group of Trump advocates waving flags and whatnot on a walkway over a highway and as I was about to share 1 of my 10 fingers with them I saw that they had kids there waving some of their Trump flags and paused. It feels uncomfortable seeing little kids engage in passionate advocacy for things they have no real experience with, and this video gives similar vibes.

If you don't involve your kids early with the political process, then they're going to be apathetic as they come of age.

There's nothing wrong with teaching them proper civics and compassion and joining in some of the fun, and let's not falsely equate that with joining a cult and fascism as the Right does with theirs. This is about love and solidarity.

The kids are all teenagers though. Don't underestimate the capability of teenagers.
