I'm pretty sure "Spice Melange" is trolling. Idk how someone would understand and enjoy the plot of Dune (assuming the book because IDK if they even used that term in the movies) with this poor of an understanding of how trade works.

One of the book details not carried through to the movie is the Baron's plan to put Rabban in charge initially to fuck shit up and make everybody hate him, and then hand Arrakis over to Feyd-Rautha who would seem like a savior since he (supposedly) wouldn't be as big of a dick as Rabban. Trump-to-Vance may have a similar arc.

There is a whole SouthPark episode about Tom Bradys poop where they repetitively use the term.

They might be trolling, but right wingers are notoriously bad a media literacy.
