Yes, but I think the point is that strong man types do appeal to a certain demographic that they are trying to influence, not that it appeals or should appeal to themselves or the general population

There is growing support for new voting and election systems that would support this

People that don't like the original after watching the parody probably wouldn't like the original even without watching the parody. The parody just puts a spotlight on aspects of the show that lots of people noticed and they probably already have an opinion about those things in their media.

Don't put too much stock into other people liking the things you like. They have their own very specific individual tastes and you can be good friends even without agreeing on lots of things.

So let's put pressure on our government to do that instead of trying to shoot ourselves in the foot.

It'll be okay to vote third party (in a social sense since it's already allowed legally) when we change the election systems that we use so that third party votes are not spoiler votes. Let's abandon First Past the Post and use something like Ranked Choice Voting or better.

This does not say she is bragging about doing anything sexual with Trump. She is trying to deny it.

I am happy with nerfs to avoid power creep as long as things are generally getting buffs.

I don't want to get into a situation where everything needs to keep getting blanket buffed for balance because they find imbalances and going up is the only option.
