There's a Chinese TV show where they took the concept of "24", and set it in Tang dynasty China. It's called "The Longest Day in Chang'an", and you can watch it on youtube with English subs. It's 48 episodes long, and the production values are astounding. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

You know it isn't as nefarious as you state George; fascists get ratings. Outrageous gets ratings. Both these organizations desperately need ratings. The lack of basic charisma from the left is the problem as Zohran in NY demonstrates; if you have a star people will listen.

Based on American history here's what will happen: the 'good guys' are somehow back in power. A few people are punished, but 'the nation must heal'. Nothing else happens. Fascists feel injustice and fester in silence for 2-3 generations. All of this happens again. Fables of the Reconstruction II.
