Soyboy utopia. Ever since Sex in the City, HBO seems hell bent on only catering to the SJW urban audience. The people that run that company have zero understanding of what people are like outside the NYC/San Fran bubble. I guess its their prerogative, but I won't be paying a penny for that trash.USN_Hokie wrote:WTF is that?HokieDan95 wrote:Might be the most nauseatingly pc show ever if this trailer is any indication
If I understand correctly, Donald Trump won and it ruined his entire life and made his family meaningless to him? I also find it creepy that he looks at his family as an experiment, but it seems fairly clear that this is what he and his wife were doing when they adopted children from around the world, choosing countries that, as their son Duc Bayer-Boatright (Raymond Lee) put it, "America totally ****."Greg: When I was young, I thought the purpose of life was to seek enlightenment, to use our minds, to try to imagine a better future... Bring light into the darkness. To reject fear and despair and cynicism... to honor intelligence and reason... to choose love. Love? I feel embarrassed even articulating that, because I look at the world... not even the world. Here, now, and all I see is ignorance, hatred, terror, and rage. We lost, folks. We lost. I look back on my partnership with this amazing woman and this great experiment that is our family and I wonder, I really do wonder, "Did any of it make any difference?"
So, we know that matriarch Audrey Bayer (Holly Hunter) is the one who is especially into being "progressive and evolved." She met her husband in the 1980s at a disarmament protest. She talks openly with her kids about past recreational drug use like it was just a cool thing she did and is a fairly one-dimensional combative feminist henpecking her husband and kids in middle age.Ashley: Our brother, Baby Jesus, is from Colombia.
Randy: Your brother is not named Baby Jesus.
Duc: Well, we always called him that because our parents thought he was perfect.
Ashley: Still do.
Duc: Yeah, she never had to teach him how to speak English.
Ashley: Or learn how to deal with his **** hair.
Duc: Although, what's going on with his hair? It's ****--
Ashley: Uh-uh. He just-- He passed for white, right, since day one.
Duc: Well, he is white.
Ashley: White white. Yeah. Wasp white, like Mom and Dad. It just made things so much easier for them.
Duc: Yeah, and they just... relaxed. They became different people.
Ashley: Yeah, he never had to wear Colombian flag T-shirts or... serve Colombian food at his birthday parties.
Duc:He never had to do anything he didn't want to do.
Ashley: Uh-uh. But we're not bitter.
Duc: No.
Randy: Yeah, but it must be cool, having siblings from these exotic places.
Duc: It could've been, if we weren't so aware of being advertisements for how progressive and evolved our parents were.
Ashley: Mmm, How evolved she was. He never cared as much. He didn't.
Randy: So, Vietnam...
Duc: Mm-hmm.
Randy: And Lie-- Lib-- Libya? Libya.
Ashley: Liberia. And Colombia.
Duc: All places America totally ****.
Ashley: We also have a little sister who's their biological child. She is painfully white, like you.

I guess there are "woke" SJW millennials who will love this kind of bilge, but for the sake of the country, let's hope they are few & far between.
We thought the same of nolan for a while but look how that turned out...133743Hokie wrote:In a way it sounds like they are satirizing the progressive, SJW perspective.
I did not know anything about the show, flipped it on last night....yea it is way progressive and rather depressing. I will be skipping it going forward, that is one effed up family.HokieDan95 wrote:Might be the most nauseatingly pc show ever if this trailer is any indication
It's for liberals, that's how their mind works. I'm sure it connected with the target audience of simpletons thinking they're in a post apocalyptic world brought on by Trump.Major Kong wrote:I gave it a whirl last night. What the hell I was bored and still coming off the previous evenings mega high.
The show is a convoluted mess. It almost seemed like 25 stories coming at you at once and not staying with any one of them to make a lick of sense.
Yea, that was my problem also, very hard to follow and figure out what was happeningMajor Kong wrote:I gave it a whirl last night. What the hell I was bored and still coming off the previous evenings mega high.

Like most new shows they probably tried to introduce each character with their own story in the first episode. Makes for a hodge podge storyline(s).Major Kong wrote:I gave it a whirl last night. What the hell I was bored and still coming off the previous evenings mega high.

Do liberals really want to go toe-to-toe on who thrives on facts and who lives on feelings, because I'm not sure they'd appreciate the results. Which would be entirely factual.Greg: Anxiety is a completely appropriate response to today's reality, Thomas. And anger. What do you want? People just to swallow the sh!t that they're in? By the way, when the f*ck did we criminalize outrage?
Thomas: Greg, the point I make is not dissimilar from the one that you laid out in your first and... only book.
Greg: Bullshit. I never said anyone should be optimistic in the face of fascism.
Thomas: "It is now, in this troubling moment, that we must always choose joy for us, for those we love, and for the entire world." These are your words, Greg. Was the world any less challenging when they were published 30 years ago?
Greg: Thirty years ago, truth was still truth, a fact was a fact, but we're not that society anymore. The world got turned upside down.
