    If you wrote this election into a political drama ten years ago, it’d get rejected as not believable.

      True story I have told so many times…

      Right after the 2016 election the NY Times assembled a panel of all the creators of the top TV political dramas. House of Cards, West Wing, Scandal, Veep…

      Every creator said the same thing. If they’d had a character say that they “liked soldiers who didn’t get captured” the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be shown as hated by all Americans and voted out by the next episode.

      Meanwhile you have MAGooswho also fly the black POW/MIA flag next to their Trump flag
