      Thank you. I didn’t think Senator Armstrong wouldn’t be recognized on the games community.

        I never played that game, and without that context, it is genuinely scary how hard it is to tell whether it not this is a real thing a real politician actually said. God damn, Kojima saw it coming.

          It’s crazy that the Japanese parodies of US politics are more accurate than any other portrayals from that era. They even got MAGA slogan dead on!

              There was a sci-fi book called Parable of the Sower in the early 90s that had it as the slogan of a shitty fascist president. It’s worth a read and will feel especially creepy right now.
