Pure Retardium: Ashli Stevens, "Why Trump's Fast-Food Obsession Matters"
It's hard to pick the stupidest thing I've read this week...but forced to do so, I'd probably pick this.
If you want to understand the crazy, pseudo-intellectual left, this would be a good entering wedge--and I may go through it in detail later.
This is a good example of the madness that gripped academia 40 years ago: take your niche, bullshit, narrow, possibly pop-culturey area of obsession, and try to use it as a lens for making grand pronouncements about things that matter. See: feminist glaciology. Or feminist logic. Or feminst epistemology. Or feminist philosophy of science. Or, well, basically feminist anything... Or CRT. Or Queer theory...ad nauseam...
Trump's not "obsessed" with fast food. Rather, he's a pretty ordinary American in this respect. And, no, you can't Gerrymander some profound insight into Trump on the basis of Quarter Pounders...even if you happen to know something about food, and wish that could make you an authority on Things That Matter...
