Reminds me of when Trump tweeted that "My daughter, Ivanka, just arrived in South Korea. We cannot have a better, or smarter, person representing out country." and someone responded "Why not?"

I love it, but I haven't gone back to watch it since 2016 because it felt a bit too much like current events played for laughs.

funnily enough, there actually is a species of locust that used to swarm over a large part of the US, but which a bit over a century or so went extinct.

Cicadas are not locusts.

Doesn't that line up roughly with the dust bowls?

the wiki article on the species Im thinking of (rocky mountain locust) suggests that one possible explanation for their extinction is their eggs being destroyed when people started plowing and farming the area they would breed in, so It might line up due to having the same general cause.

This meme image features Margaret Dumont and Groucho Marx. It's a still image from one of the Marx Brothers movies of the 1930s.
