Every time I hear the news from the USA I think: it's not like things were peachy before Trump 2.0 or even 1.0. How much worse can it get?
As my college RA who suffered from an extreme fear of zombies once told us during one of his multiple zombie preparedness meetings:
You underestimate our ability to analyze every problem and solution, and then light both of them on fire.
Except if destruction of the brain kills zombies, their heads would explode from the heat, probably within 5-10 minutes.
