LOS ANGELES, CA—Albert Scott is a Hollywood screenwriter, and as someone with important influence on the American public, it’s his job to inject woke politics into blockbuster movies, completely ruining the movie-watching experience for people who watch a movie just to forget about the world for a little bit. But the latest movie he’s working on has given him some trouble.
“The movie is about a giant monkey fighting a giant lizard,” explained Scott. “I’m really stumped on how to get anything about structural racism in here at all. I mean, they’re just picking up buildings and hitting each other with them -- I don’t know what to do with this.”
In the olden days, Scott would have been happy to put some basic liberal politics in the movie by using Godzilla for an anti-nuclear message, but that doesn’t meet the larger demands of progressive politics these days. “It’s like ... can I make one of them trans, and that’s why people are so scared of them? Does that make any sense?”
Scott is used to woke messaging completely grinding a movie to a halt, but due to his integrity as a screenwriter, he at least wants it to be somewhat organic. “Maybe it can be revealed that Godzilla can talk, and then he gives a lecture on whiteness.” Scott thought about it some more. “No one is going to stand there listening to that when buildings are collapsing around them!” Scott fell onto his desk in defeat. “This movie is too awesome for me to ruin!”

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
