The CIA isn’t an “American gestapo”

Sure, but that’s because it was a product of its time. When Sorkin started creating WW, Bob Dole was the kind of guy Republicans nominated for president.

Why compare him to Aaron Sorkin? Sorkin made a whole HBO show that directly named and shamed Tea Party Republicans.

Why didn’t we annihilate the Taliban immediately?

The problem is in real life, this Nick Offerman president would have been a beloved godlike figure to one of those states. He either ran on the “philosophy” of Texas (aka MAGA), or he ran on the philosophy of California.

Avoiding the real factions in our current politics is what makes the film shallow. In real life, an authoritarian president would have run on the philosophy of one of those states. He’d be a MAGA or (less likely) a Liberal authoritarian. Either way, Texas and California would NEVER ally together against the…

They don’t have the levers of power in the state and nothing indicated that rural MAGAs took over California. It’s completely irrelevant that there are several million MAGAs in CA. They have no power nor the sociocultural cache in the state.

No they’re aren’t moron.

I’m sure it’s entertaining but it seems to be exactly what many feared. The film is completely “apolitical” as far as depicting the real current US factions who are signaling violent authoritarianism.

You aren’t really getting why the movie premise is stupid. If an authoritarian Republican stayed in office 3 terms, why would Texas suddenly abandon their God King to join California in fighting against him?

Never go full tankie

Gen Alpha is literally retarded and illiterate because of the social media algorithm. They should all be banned, especially TikTok.

The tankies have arrived to ensure us China isn’t a threat, it’s AmericaBad that is the only threat.

I thought I heard Karen and Foggy were going to be a cameo basically. But this sounds like much more.

THE WEST HAS FALLEN

These schemes are invented by paying geniuses millions of dollars to find unintended gaps in laws already created to prevent the very thing. It’s impossible to stop this permanently.

That’s not even his sin, it’s just what a chud would claim as his sin when making a smug comment like this.

The Prequels are awesome loser

Nope believe it or not, going down without a fight.

Whistleblowers actually have an extremely high attempted suicide rate (10%)
