radicalization and extremist violence
angry partisan rallies
sensationalist news coverage
anti-immigration/racism
social media/memes
LGBTQ marketing stereotypes
religious fanaticism
pejorative labeling e.g. SJW/snowflake
AOC clone
thoughts and prayers
porn parodies
Vought Cinematic Universe
it's fun up to a point, but I feel like sometimes I'm just like, ok ok I get it, I see what you did there, please hit me over the head with it slightly less. there must be some way to write these episodes with just a little less reliance on real life topical stuff, because I think there's a danger of turning the show into more of a time capsule than a series with enduring value.
