Ok everyone, I think I figured it out. I now know how all this happened!
Bare with me, but you know how sequels are always worse than the original? This is especially true with classics. For every decade after the original, the sequel to a classic will be exponentially worse. Well, I think this is a sequel to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I know this sounds crazy, but please keep reading. I think I'm onto something.
Instead of paying the price to hire the best writers, they are just using lame FX. So they released it in interactive VR. Somehow we are all stuck in it. I'm sure you've figured it out by now that the mental patients escaped, took over the government, and the only way for us to escape is to vote them out of office.
So we have to get them back in the mental hospital, start to put the country back together, and I'm confidant that as the credits roll we will be brought back to the real world.
Think this is nuts? Call my bluff and vote out the mental patients! What have we got to lose? I think it's worth a try. Remember, the most important protest is to vote. Let's start with that local ballot you haven't filled out yet.
Share this post if you think I'm onto something here. Thanks.
