Not quite the same, but The Matrix and so-called “red-pilled” Republicans make me laugh every time for this reason. The Wachowski sisters have flat out and openly said that The Matrix is a transgender story about the prison of toxic masculinity and escaping it by transitioning. The red pill is Premarin, an estrogen pill from the 90s, and the blue pill is a testosterone steroid (I forget which one), both of which were produced in those exact colors. So every time a conservative talks about being “red-pilled,” they’re actually talking about taking estrogen.

Now the E pills are blue, thus ruining the metaphor, another crime big pharma must answer for.
