Now that nearly all the acts have dropped out of Donald Trump and Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair, the fun begins.
The idea is to mock Donald Trump mercilessly. It works.
Social media has become awash in social media memes about various fictional and otherwise hilariously inappropriate acts also declining an invitation.
They include the Muppets, the Angry Birds, Lily von Shtup from “Young Frankenstein,” fictional groups from movies, The Archies, the Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family, Josie and the Pussycats, the Teenage Ninja Turtles, and so on.
It goes without saying that Spinal Tap is among the bands not coming. So, too, Menudo, Tom Hanks’ “The Wonders,” and the Kars-for-Kids jingle people.
Author Anne Lamott wins the contest, with Charles Manson passing on the event.
Here’s a link to Twitter X that’s so much fun to scroll through.
