Donald Trump is absolutely not worried about people dressed in chicken suits handing out tacos. This is "Let's Go Brandon"-level feckless facebook-boomer euphemism, it's embarrassing, and I'm fucking sick of it.
You know what Donald Trump is actually worried about? Protests, strikes, civil unrest, molotov cocktails, actual substantive action. Stop pretending this taco chicken bullshit is that.
But you have to admit, it would be hilarious if that actually happened.
Depends on whom you ask. Personally I stopped being able to laugh at US politics within the first 6 months of his first term. All I could feel was anger, nowadays when the dissociation stops it has evolved to pure rage. And I don't even live there, there's an entire ocean between our two countries, can't imagine what it would be like living in it.
The idea of adults putting on a chicken costume to try to "own the Maga" or get Trump riled up instead of doing anything useful seems really pathetic and sad. It's not like democracy is burning on every floor or anything right now. "You know what we really need ? People in chicken costumes in the streets!" Yeah, no. Just no.
