Oh? Look, I have my own strongly partisan political biases, like many (if not most).

But let's not fool ourselves here.

There aren't nerve centers full of shills getting paid to go sit at computers in bunkers posting memes and sharing right leaning content on /r/t_d. (And around all the other social media platforms)

That happened organically, which is actually really amazing when you think about it.

Correct The Record and now Shareblue on the other hand... That's an actual organization, that actually does that. With employees who get paid and funded by fine folks like George Soros.

I'm not saying that Republicans, Tea Party Conservatives, Libertarians or any other right of center party isn't fraught with their own issues. I fit somewhere in that general category, and I'm furious with many things happening that are coming from politicians who claim till the cows come home that they share and will fight for values and issues that I care about and voted for them to tackle, but clearly many don't have the spine to actually do it...

But the way Homeland is portraying this "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" this season is pretty rich, given the fact that Hillary literally just had CTR, an easily verifiable, well documented propaganda group doing the exact same thing.

So for Homeland to just take that fresh topical issue and completely shove it on the 'evil conservatives' is just... Disingenuous at best. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Disappointed, yes. Not surprised.

Anyway... Just my opinion.

And to save people the time of scouring it, yes, this is my account I use almost exclusively on t_d. If you want to immediately dismiss anything I have to say because of that, that's OK with me. I am happy to have conversations with people who disagree with me, however.

Homeland is a great show, and I don't mind supporting a political thriller / drama who has many main characters with opposing political views to my own. That's a dumb reason to avoid a great drama.

Where I take issue is when a show allows for the personal biases of the creators, writers and so forth to bleed through to inject uncharacteristic qualities into established characters or to introduce plot lines that don't match the established tone of the world the show takes place in.

And of course, the goal here is ultimately being able to push their personal agendas and gain their weekly allotment of virtue signaling points - at the expense of the story, which is really, really frustrating to me as a viewer...

(I also acknowledge that virtue signaling is by NO stretch a one sided issue, just to be clear.)

Sadly, almost all political dramas have suffered this fate over the years as they progressed into the twilight of their run. (See: everything from Aaron Sorkin)

Anyways... This got really long. I hope people are willing to at least entertain and hear out an opposing point of view.
