Episode 43: “The Presidential Dilemma” - a podcast by JG Media

Well, slap my cheeks and call me a lawn chair, we’re celebrating ‘merica!

Not actually, because the folks “down south,” as we call them here in the frigid arctic tundra devoid of life and culture that is Canada*, are pretty problematic. Sorry not sorry but any country that needs to keep its pants on with a “bible belt” doesn’t have their priorities straight.

But, of course, as North Dakota natives, Jem and the Holograms love their American culture and history. Especially the parts that gloss over racial injustices and socio-economic inequalities and stick to appropriated symbols/moments in history that (apparently) showcase American excellence. Why bother focus on all that icky stuff when you’re in a position of power in society, right??

Ok, rant over. In this episode, Jem and the Holograms go to Washington then proceed to get caught up in some presidential-level drama. There are also a lot of fireworks and bald eagles because, as we know, that’s what the U.S.A. basically is, a melting pot of pyrotechnics and surprisingly stupid avians.

So what’s the “dilemma,” you ask? The fact that you’re not listening to the Jem Girls right now!

*An American perception of Canada, of course
