This show is nothing but a liberal wetdream at this point

In psychology we call that projection, and it is a defense mechanism used by narcissists to protect their ego by deflecting and defusing attacks on their own character by dishing out those attacks in reverse. In social studies, there is actually a correlation between narcissism and far left Woke extremism.

As a victim of a sociopath myself, I find that kind of attitude insufferable and I combat and expose it everywhere. I am tired of a sincere, warm family man like Trump, who unlike Biden has not raised criminals for children, being portrayed in the negative light that the other camp so deserves.

What is even more annoying to me is how vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation most people are, especially compassionate people are so easily fooled by their own emotions, and become useful ndiots in barely veiled agendas. I am always so baffled by humanity's receptivity and vulnerability to perpetual ideological programming by the media. It is low key infuriating.

100%

No, I think it was initially a satyre of Woke ideology, of narcissistic compassion and sociopathic gaslighting, suppression of freedom, free speech, mass gaslighting aka a criticism of the left. The show has been a Republican's wet dream, to see a fascist organization that gaslights and manipulates from the shadows become exposed. I for one, can't want to see those leftist-acting crazies get what they deserve. To me the analogy with Trump just doesn't work, it is so contrived, almost as contrived as FBI agents inviting people to the capitol and calling that a riot, or tampering with evidence to get Trump convicted. They admitted on the stand to tampering evidence regarding the classified documents. By now no one believes in their lies anymore, that's why Trump is winning in the polls. Many people who were fooled by the leftist propaganda are now realizing their mistake, especially since the left don't control all of social media anymore, people see behind their little game.

The showrunner probably got pressured by the Woke mob for his critique of current day wokism, and just window-dressed it at the last minute as a criticism of Trump. "look, Homelander is Republican, and let me sprinkle some gender ideology on top to be sure!).

The strings are too thick. Definitely not planned, it feels like a complete U turn and role reversal and it is just doesn't work. As a Republican I am always going to be on the side of Hewie and Butcher, because they embody rough, genuine kindness rather than the fake virtue signaling and morale grandstanding of the left (which we find in the female supe politicians and the PR girl). Just artificially changing the label to Republican at the last minute won't do anything to make me support the other camp. I am consistent in my values.

Why do you think the showrunner had to come out and do PR work about the parallels? The strings are way too thick, laying it on stick won't convince anyone.

Let me lay it out for you:
Vaught = big lobby propaganda and lies fascist regime that pushes false narratives, gaslights and manipulates opinion though the media?

Using progressive values and fake compassion as a means to feed lobby interests?

Ring a bell yet?

The Woke movement is using the same Hitlerian tricks (manipulation, distortion and ultimately perversion of socialist ideals and compassion, while agitating hate towards certain people, co-opting social issues and fake compassion to promote lobby interests and militarism, suppressing information, censuring of the scientific community as the modern day equivalent of burning books, free speech or using intimidation, encouraging denunciation or cancelation to quash dissent, etc.)

Vaught embodies everything Republicans hate, and Starlight, Hewie and Butcher, everything they believe in - exposing big tech lies, fake news, mass propaganda, censure, and suppression of individual freedoms.

That's why the showrunners had to come out and defend themselves! Because without the sleight of hand relabeling, they would get canceled for essentially depicting and criticizing the far left with pin-point accuracy. The showrunners got pressured and sprinkling a dose of gender ideology on top of Vaught = Woke and Resistance = Republicans and adding a couple fake parallels with Trump is too little too late. The harm is already done, people who see the show can only hate the big tech, big pharma and big war manipulation and manufactured crises more because of the parallels with Vaught. No good Republican is going to switch sides and suddenly start supporting Vaught because they have added gender ideology to the mix.

If the show really intended to be Woke from the beginning, I don't think they would bring in a black female sociopath into the show! Or make a toxic masculine man like Butcher a hero. From the get go the show injected Republican values into the minds of people: Truth, freedom, courage, bravery, self-determination, family bonds, etc., and Season 4 is no different. Gender ideology is neither here not there. Many republicans are happy supporting actual gay and trans people who don't use the "I identify" or more than 3 pronouns instead of a nick name as a narcissistic release and or a way to impose their needs on other people. Republicans believe in freedom, diversity of opinion and equity as opposed to the far left (Woke) vision, which is all about conformity, equality of outcomes, and forcing everyone to think (and be) the same (the very definition of fascism). LGBTQIA+ represents a tiny but vocal minority of the gay population, the silent majority of gays and gender non-conforming people is not narcissistic and not trying to impose their world view and needs on others, they just ask for tolerance, they don't demand special treatment and privileges beyond normal human decency.

told you so, episode 5 was a satire of Woke corporations, with their new "Black at it" Woke initiative.
Vought = Woke, I called it from the beginning!

It is just fact. Biden is a covert narcissist, he was caught lying on camera so many times, he is a pure gaslighter and manipulator. Trump is an overt narcissist, says it plainly and how he thinks about it, says what he likes, dislikes, says what he will do and a does was he said.

The leftwing media for sure are in the covert camp, window-dressing their evils and projecting them on the other camp, feigning indignation, propagating lies and false narratives all day. And they even admit to their own lies later. Just look at how they pretended that Biden was fine, totally not suffering from cognitive issues, until the powers that be decided that Biden has to go, then they changed their tune overnight. Lib media will say just about anything as long as it helps their masters win. They will use gossip, innuendo, reputation destruction, censure, gaslighting and fake narratives as long as it allows them to win. Look at how they literally killed millions of Americans by willfully abetting big pharma lobbyists WHO and FDA in their lies about Covid treatments like Ivermectin. Without even the blink of an eye. Do you think they didn't know? Of course they knew they were propagating false science. I wrote to some of these media, and through my conversations with journalists, I became highly aware that their misinformation was by design and not by sheet incompetence or ignorance! Big pharma's reach is insane.

It is the most cowardly tactic - draping yourself in the appearance of virtue, signaling it everywhere, partaking in moral grandstanding while at the same time being rotten to the core. It is the biggest hypocrisy.

You can't measure how much of that is happening if you haven't been the victim of covert narcissists before, which is why the majority of the population is easily fooled by their tactics. It really takes an Aspie like Elon Musk to defeat these tactics. Aspies have a natural immunity to being bullshitted and a pathological need for truth and it makes them the natural enemies of pathological liars. Liberal media fear the truth like vampires fear holy water, that's why they cannot find better enemies than Trump and Musk who make their tall edifice wither and crumble because they have completely lost the monopoly of the media narrative and they will stop at nothing to discredit people that put their precious castle of lies in peril!

Would you rather have the one president who gave up his wealth to save his country or the president who gave up is country to increase his wealth?

Trump is the only president who came out of office poorer than he was before taking office. All other presidents benefited from lobby contracts, Biden included!

Yes, so you believe the counter narrative? Trump never advertised being a Christian family person, we only know this from his close friends, and how well educated, respectful and put together his children are. The opposite of the dysfunctional Biden pedo family where everyone hates on everyone and his own daughter tells on his incestual tendencies in her diary.

They have no standards, no moral compass, and no filter for anything they say or do.

If you don't 100% agree with them on whatever's hip on any given day, they will destroy your life, and if they can't do that, they'll at least blacklist you. South Park can barely even keep up with them anymore.

The MAGA crowd might be rowdy at times, but they're far from insane.

Hell, many of them would've been called moderates or centrists 10+ years ago, before the Left went batshit under Obama.

Now, anyone right of Marx is "alt-right"

just look at how they treated far-leftist JK Rowling

There is no one more anti muslim than the Woke left. Woke universities are the first ones who have issues with muslim parents who complain about gender ideology.

Trump's views on Islam and LGBTQ on the other hand are nuanced.
(1) He once said, “I think Islam hates us,” but at other times, he expressed more measured sentiments, distinguishing between the faith and “bad and dangerous people” who happened to be Muslims.
(2) Trump has been a strong LGB ally since the 80's. His track record is much better than Biden's but the media have decided they want to portray the opposite. It is their prerogative, not the truth, though.
(3) Trump was the first white businessman to officially endorse a black political candidate in the 90's. Again Biden's track record on the other hand is racist.

Trump is just very pragmatic, he doesn't judge groups based on race or orientation, he judges them based on their individual merits. And the laws he passes are to protect the country.

This is very different from figures on the left, who are actually much more bigoted but have since covered it up for political reasons. In this world you don't get bonus points for honesty, it is the fakers who rake up media support.

The right is generally more pragmatic and doesn't care about perceptions. Caring about perceptions is what the left (and Vought!) does. This is an issue with Woke shows that they paint stories based on perceptions, and they don't match the actual psychology or motivations of the characters, which is why they all end up unrealistic and weak. I think this is also why the left can't see the forest before the trees and are happy that the show is anti-Republican whereas at the psychological truth level, it is extremely anti left. The lack of realism has only started in season 4 but I haven't lost hope.

I am very curious about what they will do about the black female sociopath. Whether they will exalt her. Probably the window-dressing and PR nonsense about parallels republicans is to deflect from the critique that they are now portraying a black woman as a sociopath. 😂

Most corporate heads in this country donate to and support right wingers.. For instance you won't find one bank CEO who routinely supports the left as in donating money to left leaning candidates.. It was most corporations behind getting rid of affirmative action and quotas, which aren't racist at all, they are meant to level the playing field after over a century of racist policies.. As far as hatred of Muslims and LGBT it is the right who boycotted Bud Light because they had a promotion with a transgender person. In the same mess that you wrote you call LGBT woke and denounce corporations for promoting pride month.. But then say that the right doesn't hate them...get real. And don't get me started on the racism that the right has shown towards Muslims especially in the last eight months.. Fox News has completely blinded you. The right is built on hate.

Donald Trump craves attention in pretty much the same way that Homelander does.. Why do you think he is always calling himself a genius and claiming that he reads the bible even though he can't even name a verse that he likes.. Honestly, I just don't see the attraction that the right has with the man.. Trump has no merit.. The man has been sued for sexual assault as well as been convicted of 34 crimes; with more still to come if he doesn't win the presidency..

Right and depicting a black woman as a sociopath and a toxic masculine Butcher as the hero is Woke af.

You still don't get it, right? The showrunner got pressured because the show looked too much like a critique of modern day far left fascism. Why do you think he had to go to the press to do some PR work? "no, no I swear I was not criticizing the left, look, Homelander is Republican! And let me spray a dose of gender ideology and an abortion to window dress it as a critique of Republicans. It is too little too late. The harm is already done. I mean, he even went as far as to say the Neuman supe was not inspired by figures on the left like Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, he said it was inspired by MTG, even though she is the most anti lobby politician on the right you could ever find. It is pretty obvious they are grasping at straws to avoid being canceled!

The only result of the show is that people are going to oppose government of donors, mass manipulation through FBI interference in big tech (narrative control, censure), weaponization of the judicial system, removal of free speech. It is exalting all Republican values of truth, courage, family, genuine compassion.

Even Woke people will be forced to support anti lobby, anti big pharma views, anti big war, etc. after seeing the show!

So who cares what labels they put. The viewers are not dumb, what matters is that in the end Republican ideals win. They don't pay attention to the names, they only pay attention to the ideas. But hay, why not? If changing labels can finally allow the left to see the light and change their view on mass indoctrination through big tech, fake compassion, gaslighting and window dressing sociopathy as compassion!

What the show demonstrated with brilliance is how social ideals are being co-opted and perverted to support lobby agendas, geopolitical goals and militarism, exactly what is happening in US society today, and what happened in Nazi Germany - the regime never cared about "socialism", it only used compassion and empathy to mislead people into doing evil.

It is so poorly characterized that anyone will view it as a critique of Woke fascism. Especially after today's assassination attempt. This is what happens when people manipulate the opinion with false narrratives. Let Melania's words ring in your ears for many days:
https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2024/07/melania-statement.pdf

The showrunners should be ashamed of themselves! "Let us not forget that different opinions, policy and political games are inferior to love".

I let you ponder how classy or worthy such a placative and misguided mischaracterization of Trump in a popular show is? The point is they create false parallels, just like the media did when they pretended that Trump had become a racist overnight. That kind of behavior is unacceptable! I will never tolerate gaslighting and manipulation from people who pretend to have the moral upper ground but in reality lack humanity! Shame on you all!

That's how I normally am- check the record, but not in this case. I guess I just refuse to give them that victory.
