I broke my rule and am watching an American series, "Six Feet Under". It took only until the third episode to take a jab at Republicans. This character is saying he doesn't want to sell his business to a big corporation and take salary because he doesn't want "to make fat, Republican stockholders richer".
First of all, all stockholders are Republican?
But most important, the assumption that the "normal" world and audience would be Democrat. How does the entertainment industry justify insulting 50% of its audience with jabs like this?
It would be fair enough to say the character is a Democrat and has his bias, but I have never seen such an offhand jab taken at Democrats by a character who is for the purpose of the show, not political.
This is the perfect example of how American entertainment is blindly liberal, urban and Democrat, and that is default normal. Conservatives, Republicans or rural flyover people are some kind of alien. The premise is they are outsider and such offhand insults directed at them are of course normal and to be expected.
Do you not see this, and do you not grasp how the other half is becoming very resentful of this arrogant dismissal? Do you not see how this may have played into Trump winning the election?
