The White House Just Turned Deportation Into a Snake Game
The White House dropped 'Arcade,' five retro games glorifying Trump's agenda, straight from the official site. The most jaw-dropping: 'Rio Run,' a Snake clone where a Homan-like figure patrols the Rio Grande scooping up 'border crossers' for a high score of deportations. Other titles include a Tetris riff on the wall, a Tapper spin rejecting 'unhealthy' food, and a Flappy Bird eagle carrying a bill. Rights groups are furious, calling it dehumanizing propaganda dressed as nostalgia.
Why it matters
This isn't a meme account, it's the official White House website using nostalgia-bait pixel graphics to normalize mass deportation as a fun little minigame. Critics say it trivializes real human suffering for clicks and culture-war points, blurring the line between government communication and propaganda.
