A fictional embodiment of toxic masculinity building his own fascist state

[elmac]

is no longer just a dark fantasy to be indulged on Sunday nights. I had to share this critique made by Sam Adams from Slate. The article wasn't about Donald Trump but about the seventh season of AMC's The Walking Dead. He was writing about how the shows viewership has plunged by about 50% since the sociopath Negan character was added to the mix. Since the season began after the election of Trump he mused about the show coming too close to real life. The opening sentence of this thread is how he phrased it. I think he is spot on.
