It's just a little on the nose with the one boy and one girl from each state. And let's see how the diversity in these boys and girls will be, it's probably gonna be some white ethnofascist bullshit parading around the perfect children. But let's see.

I mean, I assume that the states would be able to nominate their competitors themselves.

Anyone can volunteer for tribute

But only a select few will make it all the way to DC instead of say South Sudan, or El Salvador, or a quaint little island they know about...

Yes, I agree the Trump administration has been disgusting with regards to immigration. Absolutely a stain on American history.

It seems a stretch to tie this to that though.

"I volunteer as tribute!" -Totally normal things for athletes to say

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

I'm glad that's not a thing anyone has said in real life then.

Look, no one involved in coming up with this idea tied it to the hunger games, and no one thinks that you'll actually have a "I volunteer as tribute" type thing going. And, not to put to fine a point on it, but "volunteering as tribute" loses a lot of it's negative connotation when it's not literally volunteering to go die in a gladiator pit.

Trump has done innumerable things to be upset about. We don't need to make up fake rage bait. Just look at the actual bad things he's doing.

And I assume Trump would want to pick the girls himself, after "inspecting" them.
