My husband and I watched Fargo a while ago. The last season was fun, but the programming was quite something: the bad guy - violent, corrupt, power-hungry, domestic abuser - was also: libertarian, rancher, sheriff, 2A advocate, prepper, Christian, anti-institutional. He believed in local over federal authority, freedom, the Constitution, self sovereignty and he railed against the tyranny of the state.

This is probably more powerful as an indoctrination tool than a thousand stupid news articles.

There's good substack about this from Gato Malo today. That cancelled show looks like a doozy.

Fargo is great - but your right, the last season was pretty clearly telegraphing/shoehorning an opinion into things in a pretty blunt fashion.

Hopefully they get a season 6 and return to less political bludgeoning.
