yeah I'll fucking take the bait
taking this literally in one of two ways makes this argument fall flat:
1) the parade itself draws large crowds every year, not the pikachu balloon, I mean fuck pikachu could attract maybe a THOUSAND people at best to new york city
2) is it possible for any president to be more popular than the second-best selling video game franchise of all time
again, that is if you take this joke, coming from one half of a podcast that gets $164 per month on patreon, seriously
