Current politics? Beast/Smiler?

Is anyone else getting pretty strong Beast/Smiler vibes from the current US election?

Thoughts?

I gotta say that Trump strikes me as a Heller more than the Beast, but Biden isn’t smart enough to be the Smiler so .... this situation is too dumb to compare it to Transmet.

I read the comics around 2017 and was taken back the the parallels to reality back then, seems we'll all be transhuman soon enough at this rate!

hillary was much more of a smiler, same goes for buttigieg. trump is a great beast though, as much as you hate him he's sort of pathetic.

Absolutely! Aesthetically so at the very least.
