Has nobody here noticed the similarity to current us politics? The homelabder Messiah vs Trump Jesus? The extreme lying media? The themes that vought uses to lie to the people? The government controlling most of the violence… Its a persiflage on current political events.
The fact you are asking how they would get out of that shows directly how fucked America really is. There is no way out of that. Its done. Better hope butcher and friends win.

Shortly before it released, the writers came out and said “a lot of this was written prior to 2025, keep that in mind, but most of this is going to seem way too on the nose”

Thanks, didn’t know that. Might be a copout though, they don’t want ice knocking down their doors and shutting them down.

I mean, I don’t think so but could be. Filming started awhile ago at this point and final episode aired yesterday. They were already doing the internment camp stuff in the prior season as well. There’s a ton in there that hit way too close to the point that there’s no way someone would think to write it if they thought it could happen or would.
That show has always been a hyperbole of what current events can lead to, but as far as I remember they’ve never done any writing that was intended to be 1:1 and a ton was inadvertently that way, at least that’s their claim.

Yeah the final episode had elon killed in space. The dark maga hat was not that long ago. So yeah, im going with copout.

Was project 2025 already out before they began filming? It pretty much contained everything that’s happening now
That could easily be what they used as the script for the last few seasons

You know that is very true. I believe it was.
