This plus characters calling FEDRA "fascists" are the most political statements the show has made. Even with the KC revolutionaries they kept their ideology deliberately vague beyond labels on their trucks of "WE THE PEOPLE" which gave me the distinct vibe they were incoherently populist or even CHUDs.
The line that jumped out at me from ep 3 was when Frank and Bill were arguing and Frank's like "you keep talking about how the government are all fascists" and Bill is like "the government ARE all fascists" and Frank is like "but they weren't back then!"
Like yeah, faced with an outbreak the totally nonfascist government sprung into action to shoot fleeing survivors and round up those who stayed in their homes to either transfer them to ghettos or murder them if there wasn't enough space. The government of those ghettos then became fascist over a period of 20 years.
In the show’s timeline, George Bush and Dick Cheney are still in office when the pandemic hits. You bet your ass they tortured patient zero for funsies
