It's a masterpiece, really. In addition to that, what design.

10:32 He takes out his smartphone...

[@cheshirecat5571]

Oh, that's so funny. Now I will always see him pulling out a smartphone when I watch this animation.
And it would be so fitting too; using the internet to propagate authoritarian and outright crazy ideas, such as Q Anon.
