A reviewer from Tablet calls Civil War a "good movie" with "stupid politics"The film relies on a mostly unexplained premise that a future third-term U.S. president has dissolved the FBI, turning the United States into an authoritarian state. Garland doesn't beat the audience over the head with his intentions or his politics. However, in his press tour for the film--including an advance NYC screening earlier this week I attended--he revealed that he felt no need to explain why the country broke apart. "Everyone knows," he says. Indeed, we do.
Without making it explicit in the film, Garland clearly wishes to make an allusion not just to the orange man--and his all-too-familiar badness--but the much-lamented rise of "dangerous populism" across the West. Garland is subtle in how he takes sides, but he clearly aligns with the elitist interpretation of rising mass dissatisfaction as driven by the bad behavior of deplorables and their ignorant love of "disinformation."

Maine Governor Allows National Popular Vote Legislation to Become Law "Absent a ranked-choice voting circumstance, it seems to me that the person who wins the most votes should become the President. To do otherwise seemingly runs counter to the democratic foundations of our country[.]"
In other words, "I am entirely ignorant of American History and its political philosophy" [CBD]

BehindtheBlack.com joins CBD and J.J. Sefton (we dragged him into the studio!) to discuss his recent three-part series on how far the Democrats will go to try to steal the 2024 elections, the potential mayhem that would follow, the potential for secession or dissolution of the USA as well as the hope for national revival, and so much more!
SEFTON UPDATE, Friday 4/5/24 -- Dear friends: the outpouring of love, prayers and words of encouragement from you all have absolutely blown me away. I can't even begin to express my gratitude at being blessed to have all of you in my corner. Anyway, despite the ridiculously appropriate Yiddish expression lok-in-kopf (a hole in the head, as in, "I need this like") I just wanted to let you know that I'm in good spirits, feeling no physical pain and taking it a day at a time. I'm itching to get back in the saddle, but for now, I'll just be lurking. God bless you all. J.J. Sefton
