  • This story is overflowing with leftist fear porn. Laughably absurd. Aside from that it’s a superbly produced and performed piece of propaganda about a broken family that finds a way to put themselves back together in-spite of multiple tragedies and a country that has fallen to a dictator. It’s a good story about family dynamics wrapped in political vomit but I still enjoyed it.

I’m hoping that people will eventually start investigating and thinking for themselves instead of merely being satisfied by the media spoonfeeding them out-of-context, edited, or downright false information. But, the election is now o... more
