Sausage party trailer, a metaphor for US Presidential election. + Dreams of a meritocratic society.

I'm wondering with the latest sausage Party trailer, Seth Rogans jokes on Disney, if there is some metaphor here:




So: the food items are left wing supporters.

For instance, in Venezuela the left wing government refused to look at market rules like inflation. Saying that when inflation happens it's because shopkeepers are unfairly raising their prices and oppressing the working man.

So of course, inflation (i.e. 'reality') happened; and Venezuelans could not even buy bread... Time for a protest!

This is what socialism is, making self centered demands without considering the wider economy and market. There is clear reference to lefty emotionalising with the whole 'think of the children' bit!

Also, at the end of the trailer there is a clear Donald Trump character, same hair. Who acts as a messenger for bad events, warning and explaining about them while not actually being part of them or orchestrating them. Also, not being intimidated by the current situation (think about it, Donald is rich, he is not actually losing out on the surface from a bad situation in strictly self centered terms!)

Dreams of a meritocratic society.

I've just been thinking about what a society would look like if it was actually meritocratic. If people got promoted on the basis of truth via all people being challenged in the media if they were lying (so Hillary Clinton would be suffering!)

Having no reward for migrating to another country and sponging off them. Especially not being allowed to rape at will because of political convenience!
