Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
And that is the beauty of this rather fantastic film of a mildly mentally challenged boy, who became a friend, who became man, who became a hero, who found the passion to live in a cynical world, and change other people's lives by just being himself. His innocence and his honesty were his cudgels, in either fist, to pound this world into one that would accept him for who he was, irrespective of his obvious shortcomings.
The perfect example of Forest's special challenge is best summed up when Forrest learned, after some years, that his one dalliance with the only woman he ever fell in love with was somewhat constructive:
Jenny Curran: "His name's Forrest."
Forrest Gump: "Like me."
Jenny Curran: "I named him after his daddy."
Forrest Gump: "He got a daddy named Forrest, too?"
Jenny Curran: "You're his daddy, Forrest."
Haley Joel Osment in his first film as Forrest Jr.
And now with Forrest Jr. with him always, and sadly, Jenny gone for good, Bubba dead in an unpopular war, his mother long passed, and presently, Lt. Dan making peace with his lot, Forrest discovers once again what he always knew to gain some measure of peace, simply because "his mother explained it to him so he could understand it:"
Forrest Gump: [narration] My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.

A bit of local trivia. My nephew, Bill Roberson, is the "fat man on bench" you see at the beginning and end of the trailer. Bill grew up in Washington (Slatestone Road) and was a graduate of Washington High School and ECU. He has appeared in several other films. He now resides in Columbia, SC.
I remember his visceral line on the subject of Bubba Gump Shrimp: 'We were talking to a millionaire'.
