    I disagree with the meme, simply because the Simpsons are the more endearing choice here, I think. Flanders was always this weird religious and hyperprotectic guy.

    Republicans are very much not endearing at all.

      Flanders is especially bad in this episode. Trying to baptize your next-door neighbors’ (or anyone’s) kids without their consent is fucked up and a reason to bar the Flanderses from ever fostering children again.

      I mean, if you’re going to overthink a meme, at least get it right within the repurposed context. She technically went third party when Marge showed up. Obviously, that wasn’t the intended meaning of this shitpost, as I would’ve included that frame if it were, but hey, you wanted to nitpick.

        If I had been a Senator and an astronaut, I’d definitely prefer the title astronaut. Still, way better than some random loser on the internet.

          I mean it’s not so much “had been” as it just is, since he’s currently a senator.

          He’s also the one of the 2 who wouldn’t be shot as a bipartisan agreement. Fuck Sinema with a rake sideways.
