You may be right to say "this is not who we are."
But this is definitely who THEY are and they're in charge.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Twitter account: Uncensored @HmanQuotes1945: Official border patrol Facebook page is posting with the banned lyrics of Michael Jackson's song.
"Jew me sue me... Kick me k*ke me."

And while Julia Louis-Dreyfus always very much made Elaine her own, there were definite echoes of Annie Hall in her at first. The Holly Hobby-looking Elaine, not the Clairol one.

JLRoberson @jlroberson.bsky.social · 8h

I think it could be argued that without ANNIE HALL, there probably would have been no SEINFELD as we know it.
SEINFELD, at least for the first half of its run, was very much mining that particular view of NYC that Allen made famous. George, at first, was a very Allenesque character.

The very fact he even understands the concept of having more than he needs distinguishes him from Kaiser Orange, who appears to be the living human manifestation of the concept of greed itself. Always more to no purpose except getting more.

(that movie is built very carefully around actors portraying lying silences and, very sparingly, violent bursts of rage caused by those silences)

One of my favorite things she does in the Godfather part 2 is make it clear to the audience how terrified she actually is of Michael with the face over his shoulder when they're dancing.
