The Shallow State: "The first critic review of Melania on Rotten Tomatoes is in..."

The first critic review of Melania on Rotten Tomatoes is in, and it got 1 star.

Here's my excerpts of the review:

"Superficial, willfully deceitful, and unrelentingly boring. It strengthens the perception of her as a chilly, lifeless socialite wannabe. It's 104 long minutes of grandiose affectation and cruel irony. It's the imagining of the first homeland monarch in U.S. history, propaganda that serves the formation of a future non-democracy."

A lolcow is usually a celebrity, probably an influencer or streamer, whose actions or statements are such that not only are they easy to make fun of, but they react to criticism in a way that leaves them even easier to make fun of. The idea is that you milk the lolcow for lols. That is you provoke them in a way that they double down on whatever you’re criticizing them for. It’s a person susceptible to continuous online bullying by like minded individuals often because they are unaware of how odd or wrong their words and actions are?
