Sometimes, a TV show is so full of liberal propaganda that it’s impossible for one post to contain it all. Paramount+’s Thursday episode, “The End of Democracy”, featured liberal propaganda. It asked the question, “When did Republicans become insane to evil?” They portrayed conservatives as white supremacist “nuts” who can only be stopped if they are upright and heroic Democrats. This propaganda is being promoted just days before the midterm elections, which seems like a coincidence.
The episode was about a funeral for the head the Democrat National Committee (DNC), who was assassinated in a white supremacist attack. Diane (Christine Baranski), the main character, steps away from the funeral and hears that the Supreme Court will overturn gay marriage.
TV Reporter: This hour’s breaking headline story is live from Washington, D.C. Although no information is yet available, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority decided to end gay marriage. The Court states that gay marriage is not protected by privacy protection in what appears to be an initial draft decision.
Diane: Oh, Jesus.
TV Reporter: While we are unable to confirm the authenticity of this leaked document, the…
Bartender: We are opening early.
TV Reporter: “Even if this Court’s earlier abortion ruling stated that it would not have any impact on gay marriages, we changed our mind.” The draft opinion quoted Creetin Spencer (a 11th-century Thessalonite judge) who wrote: “Smote not thy attention, sleepeth no with thy brothers.” After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court…
Diane: There isn’t enough whiskey in the world.
TV Reporter:…to give a preview of potential Court rulings suggesting that the right-winged controlled Court might return to the issues contraception access and equality in marriage.
The eulogy is then changed to a political speech by Diane.
Diane said, “This one hurts.” “Well. Hello. We are all here. Every Democrat who tried to do something. We came to bury Frank Landau and not to praise him. It looks like we’ll bury the Democratic Party instead. Let’s face facts, folks. We’re f**ked.”
Outside, Diane meets tech billionaire Neil Gross (John Benjamin Hickey), who says he wants the Democrat party to be bought and Diane’s ideas for rebranding.
Neil: What can we do?
Diane: What about my return home?
Neil: The end of the Democratic Party? You’re f**ked. Now what?
Diane: I don’t care a sh*t anymore.
Neil: Yeah, you do. It bothers you because of that.
Diane: Let it go and start over. I can’t imagine any other way.
Neil: Do you mean square one?
Diane: Yeah. Everything needs to be rethought. Why didn’t we establish a Federalist society in the 1980s? Why didn’t our judges get trained? Why don’t you go on the offensive when a judicial position opens up? Why didn’t the Electoral College and this filibuster be abolished? We are the majority, yet the minority rules. Really?
Neil: Keep going.
Diane: Superdelegates must either go away or follow a candidate younger than 90 years. We have to invest in younger candidates with the energy and passion to rebuild, revitalize, and rebrand the… Please, shoot me.
Neil: Why?
Diane: Why? It’s a pattern. It’s a tick. It’s a feeling of hope, followed by the possibility of a positive outcome.
Neil: Hell, let’s do it.
Diane: What does it mean to “do it?”
Neil: This means that all your ideas, all the things you’ve said, are now ours.
Diane: How do you do it? No, I’m not going home with my NRA husband. I’m going to be hydrating so I don’t get a hangover tomorrow. Goodbye.
Neil: Diane, are you sure what I’m worth to you?
Diane: I’m guessing a lot.
Neil: $680 billion. I am not like my billionaire brethren and have not purchased rockets, Twitter, Mars or Lanai. I’m looking for ways to help the world with my money.
Diane: Okay. Diane: Okay.
Neil: I would like to buy the Democratic Party.
Neil and Diane continue their egotistical conversation indoors while Diane’s Republican husband Kurt walks through the crowd.
Diane: But you cannot just buy the Democratic Party.
Neil: Oh, sure I can. They-they want a savior. I want the country work. It’s more than just the money. My money cannot be meaningful if the country doesn’t survive. Balance is the only way for the country to survive. Consider me a counterpart to Rupert Murdoch.
Diane: Neil, facts don’t really matter anymore in our polluted political system. You would have to see through all the lies on Facebook.
Neil: No. Neil: No.
Diane: What should I buy?
Neil: Facebook. Mark is tired of the headaches. He might try to put it in play. All those fireflies are beautiful. They are beautiful, aren’t you?
Diane: I don’t get what you’re saying. I’m asking you to explain your actual policies.
Neil: I don’t know what you’re thinking. I just heard you tell the Democrats that they were f**king. Yes, I agree. What should they do? You just said to me, “Why not burn down the Democratic Party?” and “Start over!” Here I am! It’s up to Mr. Moneybags. I don’t want a tunnel to be dug under L.A. Democracy must work. So, let’s do it.
TV Reporter: Legal experts believe that gay marriage will be outlawed in 11 states and that 14 other states will require a certificate from a judge to allow them to marry. To ensure stability, these certificates will require meeting with probationary marital observers.
Woman: They don’t care about killing their children in the womb.
Man: Do we really need an AR-15 these day?
Man 2: When did Republicans turn from insane to evil?
Probationary marital watchers? Is this not a joke?
Neil wants to meet Johnny Elfman (Steven Pasquale), the new head DNC. He tells Diane and her legal partners that he will blackmail him with any information he has about him. (He is the creator of Chumhum – the show’s Google equivalent.
Gross tells the partners, “See, these tactics the Republicans have perfected.” Gross wants Manchin to vote for you, not be a perpetual c**k. Show him what I have for him. He will be the one to end the filibuster.”
Gross isn’t something Elfman wants to hear, so he announces, ‘I’m buying Fox News’:
Elfman: How can you buy Fox News?
Gross: With money.
Elfman: How much?
Gross: Its current value is $21 billion. I can become majority owner with $15 billion
Elfman: Would you be willing to do this?
Gross: Yes.
Elfman: Republicans will find another network to call theirs.
Gross: If you made Fox Democrat overnight, that’s fine. You don’t.
Ri’Chard – The idea is to curb its excesses. To make Fox more conservative…not radical.
Elfman: The nuts will flee somewhere else, but they will still be there.
Gross: Maybe. There is a time limit to whack-amole. It is always.
Liz: Mr. Gross has promised a huge investment in the DNC.
Diane: 12 years. Three presidential cycles.
Liz: He’s already heavily invested in Puerto Rico.
Elfman: The 51st State?
Gross: Of course. A Democratic one.
Elfman: How will you work with Biden’s administration?
Gross: I won’t. He served you well in 2020, but the brand is tired. You need someone new. The stakes are too high.
Elfman: Okay. I see where this is heading.
Gross: What do you do?
Elfman: Yeah. You think you are the next Michael Bloomberg.
Gross: What have you done?
Elfman: No. Thank you. Why don’t ya start your own political party, Mr. Gross.
Gross: I know all about your brother’s mistress.
Elfman: What are you talking about?
Gross: You are the king of oppo research. You know exactly what I mean. Do you remember the name of the Republican candidate who killed a classmate in 1986. I do. Do you know what Supreme Court justice is guilty of child porn? I do.
Elfman: This is not a game that the Democratic Party plays.
Gross: It does. Gross: It should. Do you want to know my secrets? I am Chumhum. Every month, we have 2.9 billion users. I have all their interests, biases, and secrets. I’m willing and able to use them if they are for the right cause.
Elfman: You’re a dangerous man.
Gross: Oh, yes.
Elfman resists, but Gross tells him that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is his presidential candidate. He mocks the Bible and declares, “Upon this Rock I’ll Build My Party”:
Elfman: It’s good to have a friend at the Justice Department. Perhaps I’ll give him call.
Gross: Okay, fine. I’m sure Merrick will jump on it. You don’t realize, Mr. Elfperson that the Trump years have turned all of this upside down. The Democratic Party continues to act like we’re all sipping tea with Tip O’Neill. One happy political family. Diane, we must talk. I believe he will say “no”. That’s why you are important to me.
Diane: Do you need me? Diane: To what?
Gross: To lead the Democratic Party. Yes, I have a backup plan. It is a hostile takeover. You can kick Elf-guy out and let you in.
Diane: Sorry, I don’t, I don’t know what I should say.
Gross: It doesn’t really matter. You will eventually say “yes.” Then, you’ll need to talk with your husband.
Diane: My husband?
Gross: Yeah. You must keep him on track. Or, uh, divorce him.
Diane: Can you excuse me?
Gross: Family concerns are secondary to the interests of the party. Tell him that you cannot see another school shooting without yourself shooting. Tell him that you find his involvement with the NRA disgusting. Here’s his response now. Diane, I need you to take over for Elfman. You’ll have to first deal with your husband. Well?
Elfman: No. Elfman: No. I don’t believe you.
Gross: Is this your final answer?
Elfman: Sir, we can’t run you. We have a seniority program. We have Biden. We have Kamala. We have Bernie.
Gross: They’ll all lose.
Elfman: It’s better that some tech billionaire.
Gross: I’m not referring to myself. God, no. I have a candidate. One who is listening to both sides. He’s ready to go, he’s done with everything.
Elfman: Who? Who is it? Who is he?
Gross: Dwayne John. The Rock. Like Peter.
Elfman: Are You Serious?
Gross: It’s like a f**king heart attack. I’ll build my party based on this Rock.
This sounds more real. It’s surprising that they admit that Bernie, Kamala, and Biden would lose.
After speaking privately with The Rock (who thankfully did not make a cameo appearance), Elfman is now excited and throws away his crutches. He claims that The Rock “laid his hand on (his ankle)” and that he has been healed.
In the final scene, Diane rides home along Kurt, her husband. All Republicans are evil now, so Diane can’t marry Kurt anymore. He tells her that they “not working” and he hasn’t changed.
Diane replied, “But the world is changing.” The right wing has also changed. These school shootings. I lay awake at night and think I don’t believe in what you believe. You seem so normal, yet these people… Ted Cruz Marjorie Taylor Greene. Boebert.”
As their marriage ends, Kurt finally gets out of the car. He is much happier without someone intolerant, narrow-minded, and judgmental.
Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” a song that has just been released, says it all: “Did You Hear My Covert Narcissism I disguised as altruism Like Some Kind of Congressman?”
It’s you, The Good Fight. You are the problem. It’s you.
