Like McDonalds burgers, American politicians are usually bland, empty calories. Trump’s stunt was an ideal way to liven things up. From Rachel Marsden at swentr.site:
The Battle of McDonald’s isn’t about the economy. It’s about the decline of a cultural icon that mirrors that of America.

Times sure have changed. It used to be that US presidential candidates argued about who best served in the military. Now, it’s about who best served up fries. The “McDonald’s vote” has arguably never mattered more than it does in this election.
Republican former (and potential future) President Donald Trump showed up at a McDonald’s franchise in Feasterville, Pennsylvania recently, tied on an apron and worked the drive-thru window serving up french fries. He joked that after 15 minutes, he had worked longer at McDonald’s than his Democratic opponent, Vice-President Kamala Harris, who had said that she worked at the world-renowned fast-food chain in her youth.
An online army subsequently took to the review site Yelp in an all-out online assault against the restaurant that hosted the campaign stunt. “The atmosphere was creepy with a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist behind the counter. Yuk,” wrote one reviewer, referencing Trump’s legal woes. “Customer service was a joke. Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn’t wear gloves. Repeated himself several times,” said another. “Usually I hold high praise for a company that employs the mentally impaired but this one seemed more off than usual,” added yet another. And it went on and on for pages…until Yelp disabled user submissions.
It was Harris who first made the restaurant a campaign war zone. “I worked at @McDonalds when I was a student, doing french fries and ice cream. There wasn’t a family relying on me to pay the bills – but that’s the reality for too many workers today. Proud to stand with @SEIU today for livable wages and a safe working environment,” she tweeted in June 2024, addressing the two million nationwide employees of the Service Employees International Union.
SEIU the Acorn absorb and rebrand?

All of these Hitler ad Reductio, the first thing he got rid of was the unions and as for unburdening attributed to Marx also used by Lenin, here is one from der Reichsfuhrer SS:
“Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA. Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.” — Heinrich Himmler
Unburden yourself from arms and redistribute them to the state for only police and military should have guns.
Peace and Safety uber alles. Si se Puede!
Should join the Black Liberation Movement or Antifa for some of that 21st century style?
