OK then, let me take your obvious bait. Shutting the teaching of marxist critical race theory down - struggle sessions and all - in us.gov does not in any way, shape, or form constitute racism. On the contrary, it is long overdue common sense. IMO, YMMV.

Trump may have a record of being racist and doing racist things and using racist dogwhistles spanning decades/generations but I've never seen him in a klan hood therefore it's impossible for him to be racist

White supremacists are stupid, I agree. I still don't see how this is of any use against Trump, sorry.

If you don't like him and you want to combat him somehow, maybe grab onto some of his widely documented and provable crimes. Selling Trump as racist is very hard to do when there's video out there of civil rights leaders standing in line to press his hand for his support of the black community. That dog don't hunt.

If you want to oppose Trump, stop wasting your time on all this lame mediabait and focus on his actual crimes. Sitting at home knitting an Antifa scarf ain't gonna do poo poo.

I read an interview with the showrunners who said that they just wanted what's his name to offer The Deep a drink, didn't want it to be a beer, and thought, "What would be funny? Fresca! Fresca would be funny!" and have just been running with that ever since because they think it's funny. And honestly, they're not wrong.

Also, I hate Fresca, and all flavored tonic waters.

I feel the show hits differently than season one, because superheroes killing like 600 people through negligence is less affecting them real life presidents killing 200,000 people the same way. It’s completely reasonable that farts stock price would just go back up after press conference, even if they didn’t catch a terrorist, as one side made buying Vought a symbol of freedom or something.

Good stormfront twist tho.

People keep talking about the "Stormfront twist" (not just here, other places as well), and like...was it a twist? I've been assuming she's a terrible person since she appeared on the show. Did people think she was really going to be a hero and ally to Starlight? Or do they specifically mean the racist comment at the end? Because that's really just an aspect of her being terrible.

Like, they just finally let loose with her being terrible. But nothing there was all that surprising, other than the slur. Which wasn't really a "twist", more of a, "Oh, I guess she's also racist."

That being said, Kimiko is going to wreck her poo poo. That was one hell of a look of rage at the end.

I mean it’s the first time you see her using any of her powers after three episodes so I would call it a reveal more than a twist

I have no idea why you're talking about Trump. This show could have been made in the '90s or 2006 or 2014.

I watched Babylon 5 a year and one of the plots is a fascist takeover of a democracy.

What was funny about it is that if you watched it now, not knowing when the show was made (90s), you'd think the writers were being annoyingly on-the-nose about linking it to Trump, like with the giant "EARTH FIRST!" banners, or the press officer who caught in a blatant lie explains that she's simply using "different facts."

Stormfront poses a tightrope for the writers to walk, but I think they've (so far) dodged the two obvious dangers: linking her feminism to Nazism (rather than having them independent), or making her racism "civil" and palatable, so that she retains likability.

If you're not plugged into the comics books or terminally online then it's a pretty good reveal.

She's got lightning powers. Stormfront works as a weather related name scheme. It also works on that wonderful plausible deniability thing alt-reichers love to gently caress with. Up until then she just seemed like either really not into the whole "omg the 7" managed-PR thing, or really GenX FuckTheMan poo poo.

I kinda hope they kill Stormfront off relatively quickly because while she's putting in a great performance and it's a very hateable villain I don't particularly want to watch an entire season of some alt-right shitstain's murder spree.

At the very least we better get Vas out of this.

I’m sure she’ll get her comeuppance but not before the end of the season.

The previews showed that the 59 becomes some kind of flashpoint so I kinda doubt there’ll be any more indiscriminate sprees.
