Running Man?


Or take The Running Man. Do people still watch that movie? The Running Man stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a wrongly accused helicopter cop who has to slaughter his way through a violent reality-TV competition hosted by a deranged game-show emcee played by Richard Dawson. Outside, the world is burning after an apocalyptic economic collapse; on the show, convicted criminals battle WWE-esque enforcers in a fight for survival that turns civilizational collapse into fuel for runaway ratings. (The story is based on a novel by Stephen King, incidentally.) It's 1987's white-knuckle view of 2017, and Donald Trump — who started out as 1987's white-knuckle view of itself — is every single male character in the movie. He's the brutish cartoon-chainsaw killers (remember when he dabbled in pro wrestling?) and the grim hero snapping necks and one-liners to win over a hostile audience, and he's the leering, mic-swinging host who wants you to be afraid, truly afraid, of the world outside your door — not because he plans to fix it, but because it means you'll tune in to his show.
Head Over to this on MTV

it all ties together

On May 24th, YouTuber Very Bad Goyim uploaded a video of Donald Trump saying “let’s give them a helicopter ride” followed by a clip showing a fleet of helicopters marked with “Trump” (shown below). On June 2nd, the God Emperor Trump channel uploaded a video of the Trump clip followed by edited footage of Hillary Clinton being thrown out of a helicopter.

“Free Helicopter Rides” refers to extrajudicial killings known as “death flights,”[4] in which military forces throw people from aircraft into large bodies of water. Online, the phrase is often used by members of the alt-right in jokes about executing their political opponents (via helicopter).

On May 11th, the donaldtrumpepe Tumblr[8] blog shared an illustration of Pusheen throwing “Carl the Cuck”: out of a helicopter (shown below). On May 20th, the blog[9] posted an illustration of Feels Guy being thrown out a Trump helicopter by Pepe the Frog" : http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-the-frog (shown below).





On June 17th, the feminist blog We Hunted The Mammoth[7] published an article about the helicopter ride meme. On November 5th, FunnyJunk[6] user mortuz submitted a screenshot of a Twitter argument between conservative comedian Steven Crowder and a person named Leah titled “Leah needs a fucking helicopter ride.”

So the helicopter has a unique significance in 2017... and to this BOOM blog...
