What COVID has taught me is that if there ever were an invasion of earth by extra-terrestrials, there'd be no glorious Kumbaya, à la Independence Day or the V series. No, friends, we'd be completely fucked. Republicans would be denying that there were an alien invasion, even as the planet was being destroyed, while simultaneously cashing in by marketing mystical, alien-deterring talismans like, say, planks from the recently discovered remnants of Noah's ark. Meanwhile, Democrats would be doing nothing other than publicly blaming Republicans for the invasion. And of course, this would all be nothing more than distraction while the capitalist class was preparing its own spaceships for departure.
