I get what you’re trying to say….I lean pretty hard to the right and I don’t feel like any agenda is trying to be pushed in the show.

I haven't watched the second season since it came out in 2020, so I don't have explicit memories of the talking points used, but it's you know, anti-immigrant, anti-muslim (which they often sub in with the word "terrorist), "preserving our culture" talking points that you can see on any given night watching Tucker Carlson.

I don't think the show is saying conservatives are Nazis or even that conservative view points are akin to Nazi viewpoints. I think it's more like they're saying ill intentioned people can weaponize conservatism to advance their outwardly reasonable (secure our borders) but inwardly hateful (I hate non-white people) goals.

But that's just my read on it. I obviously have my biases. I'm glad you don't feel alienated by the show like the OP has.

Wait, what? I thought this was about penises and men's butts.

Guess I just wasted my money on an Amazon Prime membership.
