Movies That May Predict The Trump Presidency
So, the unthinkable has happened and we’re all shocked. Shocked and kinda terrified. It’s still sinking in, honestly. Just thinking about how the positive changes we made as a country will now be undone, and according to the way our country voted, clearly people like the idea of going backwards instead of forward.
As it’s been discussed in the media – when was America ever really all that great? I’d like to think within the last eight years it’s been only getting better, but now we reached a grinding halt and people are okay with reverting back to the way it was: when women couldn’t vote, slaves were in existence – basically when the white men ruled this country is when it was great. That’s what Americans voted for. People want that back.
Well America, guess what? So much has changed for us to go back to that world. People are not afraid to voice their opinions and no way will the minority sit quiet and take this. We’re going to see a revolution. There’s no way we won’t. The extent of this revolution? I guess we’ll find out, but there’s no way that the next four years will be a quiet period where “miracles” will happen to make this country “great again”.
There’s going to be protests, riots, movements, you name it. It will happen.
The entertainment industry has made plenty of movies featuring the future of the world, alternate realities, parallel universes, etc. Most of the time, the world made it out okay. Let’s hope we do too.
So I put together a list of movies that may possibly predict what the Trump presidency may be like. Because lists can sometimes get the point across. And I’m not gonna hold back.
01. Super Mario Bros. [1993]
The world splitting with a parallel dimension featuring a dictator who refers to himself as King with his people either turning to human/dino morphs or devolving to fungus – could this be foreshadowing? It’s just uncanny how much Trump resembles King Koopa in this film, and his personality is not that far off. Maybe if things get rough, we can turn him to fungus or something.
