I’ve repeated this story a million times since 2016.
Right after the election, there was a panel discussion. They invited the creators of all the top political TV shows. VEEP, House of Cards, The West Wing, Scandal, etc. All the producers/writers said the same thing : if they’d had a TV character say that he ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the netowrks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be shown to be hated and despised by all Americans.
No, but it’s their base they are appeasing, and they do not pay attention.

The cult would not be swayed by anything though.
Yeah, that’s probably a better way to put it lol.
