Source Context
Recovered passages from the original issue text. When the raw archive preserved outbound links inside the source passage, they are listed directly under the quote.
When we arrive at Forever Magazine’s issue launch party, the topic of self-restraint resurfaces. “I’ve given up on men,” a tall blonde woman confides. “No more casual sex.” My friend nods in agreement. I admittedly can’t relate. All this talk of abstinence clashes violently with the tenor of the party, cheekily proffering Americana in all its glorious excess: Beer! Burgers! Hot dogs! Tits! I watch in silence as several guys deepthroat hot dogs. The muted specter of Trump looms from a TV screen nearby. I’m firmly off the wagon but not feeling especially patriotic.
Trump swaggers onstage around 3 AM EST and delivers a predictably sleazy speech, offering the usual medley of vacant hyperbole before clumsily praising Elon Musk’s (red) rocket as if he’s on the bottle at a dinner party:
These moments of incoherence and utter detachment from the gravity of his position on the world stage are met with confused titters from the audience. The collective “HUHN?” inexplicably followed by roaring cheers reminds me of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho’s State of the Union address in Idiocracy, amplified further when Trump turns the mic over to UFC president Dana White. Guess it’s a boy’s night! Fun. May the biggest dick win. Clearly there’s not much at stake here. Global relations…wealth disparity…ongoing genocide…the fate of human civilization…should be chill. At the end of the day, dude has Vibes. He shoveled some fries at McD’s once. He gets it.
