Underrated detail I noticed re-reading 17776:
At the start, in the video "what year is it?" they show a list of US presidents, specifically, Tom Cotton winning two terms in 2020 and 2024, Tulsi Gabbard winning two in 2028 and 2032, then Keith Ellison, then George P. Bush, and thennnn....
Bernie Sanders! Seemingly elected in 2044. When I saw that I thought that it was a weird plot hole, like, Bernie's too old to run *now*, by 2044 he'll be dead, right? Oh! Oh yeah!
So, uh, yeah, Jon Bois put in a cool detail showing 17776's plot hook before it gets introduced textually, neat.

Turns out acclaimed web serial 17776 is just an elaborate "here's how Bernie can still win" joke.
