There's been talk of doing that, but so far they haven't been able to find enough credentialed scientists to fake enough reports to make it seem legit.

I thought, with the Yoshi egg at the end of the first movie, they would be going to Super Mario World instead, personally. Thought that even more when the music started playing during the teaser trailer and seeing the Monty Mole running around, then the title came up.

Yea, evidence that's been released seems to point to him being in that subculture. Wouldn't really surprise me. The rhetoric coming out of far-right spaces tends to paint anyone who isn't as extreme as they are as the enemy. Hard to believe that Charlie Kirk wasn't extreme enough for them...

First one was rather fun and I rather liked the Galaxy games, so I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.

Yea, Kirk was useful for getting him into power. He's in power now, doesn't really need him anymore. Trump will just use his name from time to time to drum up fear in order to maintain power.

All we know for certain is that he was turned in by his own father(or a friend of his father), his family is Mormon and most of them are Republicans. We don't know his political leanings at this time, though. If it is political, I wouldn't be surprised if even though he may be conservative, he...

Wouldn't be that surprised if it was done for teh lulz actually. That's the state we're in right now. There's a certain subgroup who get off on causing chaos for chaos's sake. No real political ideology behind it.

They actually NEED to catch him(or at least catch SOMEONE who may have not been involved at all but they can pin in on), otherwise they can't claim victory and tout how good they are at fighting crime. I'm expecting they are going to arrest some member of a minority group with little evidence...

Worst part is the TRN is obviously professionally stamped into the casing, not etched into it like a person would do to make a point.

Only reason I knew who he was is because I'm in one of the groups he liked to target with his rhetoric. I hate how he's being held up in the media as some sort of hero right now. He was not, he was purveyor of hate. Still, he was a human and he did have people close to him that cared for him...

I will say that we are PAST the point of 2004 at this point, but I do believe we still have a shot of self-correcting before mass violence breaks out. We've been on the road towards civil war for a while now and are likely closer now than at any other point in my lifetime, but we ain't there...

He also saw what happened in South Korea when its former president declared martial law.

I know it's a bit callous, but at least we likely won't have to listen to the garbage coming out of his tiny face for awhile.

Being defeatist doesn't help anything. We take the win and keep pressing forward. Fascist regimes generally have short lifespans and the one we've got has senile idiot as a figurehead. We've got to slow them down and every victory like this helps with that goal.

They need the illusion of elections at the very least. Midterms will happen. They will try and rig them, we just have to turn out in large enough numbers said rigging won't be effective.
