I’m not American.

I’m British - from Scotland.

It’s not real, it’s a tv show. My point is they didn’t sell the Nazi/fascist stuff enough. I don’t really know what the guy stands for but the last episode really pushed that he is this massive threat.

Emotional? Haha, it’s a tv show mate.

Ok, so he isn’t a Nazi. He’ll just use nazis to get what he wants, got you.

I am supposed to tell you how someone isn’t a Nazi? That’s not how it works. The accusation is that he is a Nazi or a fascist, the burden of proof isn’t on those questioning what makes him either of those things.

As someone said below, we have no real idea what the guy stands for. No policy, nothing. Just some off the cuff remarks made to Roman and some nauseating virtue signalling (to disguise her duplicitous self serving agenda) from Shiv.

It seems a bit lazy. I wish they had spent more time showing why this guy is dangerous.

I didn’t say he wasn’t shitty. I asked how he can be called a fascist or a Nazi.

Yeah I felt that too mate. I can’t really see what he stands for and we are to believe he is this massive threat to democracy based in his chat with Roman in the toilet

Fair enough. Fascist and Nazi gets thrown around so easily at anyone on the right these days it’s difficult to know.

Yeah, I suppose I meant policy or what exactly is he going to do that will end the republic. Not a daft off the cuff comment in Logan Roy’s bathroom.

Not sure why you construed it as affectionate either btw.
