Apparently there’s a contingent of MAGA Repugnicants that are upset with a recent episode of ‘The Pitt’, and are calling for a boycott of HBO.
The episode included 2 ICE agents behaving exactly as we’ve seen them on the news and as we expect of them.
Frankly, I would have thought the show would not be a fit for MAGAs - compassion, healthcare underfunding, helping people without insurance, nothing about how wonderful Beloved Leader is, etc - but there we are.
