“Western Alliance” of California, Texas, and Florida teaming up to take on the entire US after the “first” “explicitly” fascist US president gives himself a third term. Supposed to be a “Liberal People’s Revolution” in support of “”“true”“” American democracy. There are absolutely no leftist symbols, analysis, slogans, flags, or rhetoric to be found.
Seemingly very little focus on politics except surface level liberal centrism of “uniting against authoritarianism”. Also, absolutely no mention of leftism except as a hostile force, as LGBT characters are seen prominently as part of the invading rebel forces. Also a scene of the rebels blowing up the Lincoln monument for some reason.
Weird “civilian” discourse that seems bizarre in the face of Palestine as there are scenes where the US Air Force bombs US civilians, soldiers fire indiscriminately into crowds, and its all played off as a horrible tragedy despite the common American sentiment in favour of Israel doing the same thing.
The trailer’s ending seems to imply the rebels miraculously take DC and save American democracy in one fell swoop.
Lastly, the fascist US president is Nick Offerman. Yes… The Parks and Rec guy, and the gay Last of Us character.
Civil war between the QAnon State and the BlueAnon Rebel Forces.
Just like Harry Star Wars Potter Voldemort Putler Slava Zelensky!
I had a stroke writing that.
comrade word salad having a stroke? unthinkable.
: (
Have to go out like Lenin I guess. It’s only appropriate.
Considering Israel’s state twitter account posted that abortion of a Voldemort meme, it’s not that far off from reality.
ComradeSalad? More like WordSalad! Amirite?!!?1?
: (
weirdest and funniest part is that texas is part of BlueAnon Rebel Forces alongside cali for some reason??? 😂 😭 😭 😭
It makes sense if the premise is that Hispanic Americans/non-citizens are demanding their fair share and equal treatment. I doubt the movie will be based like that though.
It’ll probably take a path of “republicans and democrats unite against fascism”, I doubt they will touch on race relations.
Unholy alliance lmao
Red Dawn for liberals
The message I got from the trailer is that we should all be apolitical and stop fighting.
I’ll pirate it when it comes out and play it in the background. Not worth any major investment
Basically just centrism.
“Please maintain the status quo” 🥺
Lastly, the fascist US president is Nick Offerman. Yes… The Parks and Rec guy, and the gay Last of Us character.
Lolbert to fash pipeline.
can we say that nick offerman became the adam sandler of fascism? the 2 characters + this new one are basically the same
I wouldn’t say fascist, the Parks and Rec character was more like the strange libertarian guy some people have in their lives that actually believes in libertarianism and isn’t just a Nazi using libertarianism as a cover-ideology. This president character is probably full blown fascist though.
The Last of Us character was pretty realistic though. He just seemed to be a sad, lonely recluse who wanted to be left alone because he was closeted and felt shunned by society as a LGBT person in the early 2000’s, when gay marriage wasn’t even a thought and being openly gay was still extremely dangerous in the US.
He was a fascist ghoul in Devs
Uhhhhmm… I think the prefer to be called “tech bros” or “founders”.
This show is horrible, it’s a cyclejerk of liberal elitism.
Weird capitalism circlejerk.
Should we watch this for laughs or ignore it because it’s a colossal waste of time? I’m leaning towards the latter just based off the synopsis tbh
It might be a “fun bad” movie that’s good for some liberal doublethink, western exceptionalism, and pro-America propaganda.
