This is the funniest documentary I've ever seen. Probably one of the funniest ever made. The Trump supporters in this are either attempting to be funny and succeeding, which is funny, attempting to be funny and failing, which is also funny, or being very serious, which is when they're at their funniest.
But the MVPs of this movie in terms of laughableness are the politicians and the cops. The one cop/guard/whatever who, when the Trumpers started messing with the Senate chamber said to them something like, "remember this is, like, the most sacred place," had me rolling. If you have even partial knowledge of the foreign and domestic policy decisions that have been made in that room over the years and still think it's sacred as anything other than an IRL Hall of Doom you're as much a member of a cult as anyone who stormed the Capitol. Anyways, were all the cops who didn't shoot somebody jealous of the one who did? Idk. I just know almost all of them either decided/had been ordered to let a mass temper tantrum play out so these people could get it out of their system and go back home. Great plan.
And the politicians, where to start? Apparently they're all soldiers, pretty much, when really they're more like athletes playing for different teams. But no matter who wins or loses the same people still get paid, and they're there to make sure that money keeps rolling in while convincing the fans that they, the plebeians, are benefiting as well. But I digress.
Maybe this is only a comedy if you're jaded. Maybe it's a very sobering film for Americans who think Congress has done more for them than they have for billionaires. But since the documentarians didn't seem to realize they'd actually made a farce, I've rated it lower, even though enjoyment-wise it was a 10 star experience.
