The episode saw Larry David travel to Georgia, where he finds himself wanting to help an exhausted Georgia citizen who is in line to vote. So, he brings her water—and that’s when the cops show up. In Georgia, only election officials can give waiting voters food or water within 150 feet of polling sites.
David’s character ends up in jail, where he poses a la former President Donald Trump for his mugshot.
Greene didn’t find any of this funny. She tweeted that the episode “lied and painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and red necks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud.”
Santos was a crazy person, but holy hell, he was hilarious! Part of me thinks he was a plant from all of the late night talk show hosts to provide material and boost ratings.
I really, really hate to say this, because it is itself a reflection of the ludicrous reality we're living in, but I would almost put Santos more in the category of "bizarre performance art" than any kind of serious political threat.
I'm saying I would not have a hard time believing that he doesn't really give a shit about the republican platform, or any political platform for that matter.
Even more succinctly, that asshole has been doing nothing more than auditioning for Dancing With The Stars this whole time.
I could absolutely see a story breaking in a few years about how he was a paid actor from some political humor show. Like, they wanted to do a segment on just how far in life you could go in America by being a complete fraud.
The further it went, the more out of control it got until their character "George Santos" found himself in an election.
When the studio wanted to pull the plug, a few key players on the show convinced them to let it play out. It wasn't until he fucking won that everyone agreed that the charade was up, and they needed to do their civic duty and leak some of the fakeness to the press.
Incredibly, even after that it took nearly a year for the powers-that-be to step in and do their job, at which point, the showrunners were now a little too scared of the ramifications to own up to it, until the media frenzy had died down.
I wish the media would stop reporting on MTG's various brain droppings. It's like, "We get it", ok? She's both irretrievably stupid and an unnecessary mean CUNext Tuesday, can we please move on?
it was a glaring reminder of why most Georgian’s resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits.
I find it funny, yet not surprising, that MTG doesn't know how to use an apostrophe in the English language. Grammer is probably not her strong suit.

There, fixed it. Yeah it's wrong, but at least it's consistently wrong now.

The thumbnail didn't load and I was reading the title of the post trying to figure out how the hell Magic the Gathering was going to protect anyone from commies and get so much money for Georgia. I was not in the right frame of mind for politics.
The state’s Deputy Secretary of State, Jordan Fuchs, told the New York Times that Curb Your Enthusiasm’s portrayal does not “not reflect bespoke reality here in Georgia my head.”
