Which idiot came up with the idea of a "presidential alert" system

Surely, no matter who is president, half the population's only response to anything sent that way would be "fuck them"

Limit it to emergency broadcasts and don't make any mention of the president and people might actually read the damn thing

@troubleMoney tbh i stopped asking these questions when it became obvious to me that you can be openly racist/sexist and still be president so like

just idk u should go make things in Go while electricity is still real

@troubleMoney this is basically what I thought, it feels like something from like the fifties or sixties when people actually thought of the president as an important figure deserving of respect

@troubleMoney I'm pretty sure it was Bush. A lot of the War on Terror paranoia felt just like Cold War/Second Red Scare paranoia.
