Unfortunately, that's not surprising. Brooks has a large immigrant community working in the meat packing plant and the racism spreads beyond the town's boundaries. Add this to the guy in Lloydminster with Nazi and Confederate flags and guns and that's Alberta. Always has been.

I might be wrong, but I assume when they give you three cognitive tests at three different times they are...measuring the decline?
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.
The pandemic.
The strike.
The sale of Fox.

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.
