Conversely, if she goes through the whole list of siblings before she gets to you ("Albert... Boris... Charlie... Dennis") it isn't so bad

That's the implausible part of the story. Trump would never go anywhere looking for facts. They're all in his head already.

Because it is not conservatives who coerced today's young people or made them afraid of ideas that challenge them. Conservatives did not shame people into silence, or send thugs out on college campuses to beat down those who wanted to speak.
They just invented alternative facts.

Re: Life in an intermediately sized city...
I googled it. There's one shot of it posted directly below a sign that says, "RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT." I don't know if that makes it funnier.

The clerk at the drugstore camera counter tried to explain that 35mm film was a ratio of 2:3 and there was no way to fit that into 5:7 without cropping or shrinking the photo to fit inside the 5x7 dimensions.
Obvious question: Why not print the whole image inside the paper dimensions and then crop the print?
