[image description: gifset from the Starkid Musical ‘Black Friday’. In it, Wilbur Cross is explaining to the President why Wiggly used a doll for his invasion. Wiley speaks gleefully, with dramatic hand gestures, while also eating through an apple. President Goodman, wearing a space suit standing in glowing green light, watches on.

Wilbur: “Do you know why it had to be a doll? It all boils down to belief, it’s a powerful thing. You see, people don’t believe in governments anymore. No matter who the masses vote for, they always get the same thing. The poor get poorer, the rich, well, they just get richer. Swamped in student debt, credit card debt, medical bills, the people have been abandoned by everything. Everything except products. That’s the only comfort they have left! And you, the President of the United States, you were Wiggly’s greatest ally.”

President Goodman, meekly and defensively: “No, that’s not true, I can’t be evil. I’m a status quo democrat!” End ID]
