    I've never watched a full episode of The West Wing because it's a walking simulator, but listening to hours upon hours of analysis of it paid off when they mentioned that script one of their friends wanted to write. The president casually tells Donna to deliver some paperwork to a building outside of the white house. She goes to a hallway, suits up in HAZMAT gear, and leaves the protective bubble around the white house. After trudging across the ruined wastelands to the State Department and delivering the document, she stops at a bunker. A little girl runs out and yells "Mommy! Mommy!". Donna hands her an apple. It's the most beautiful thing the girl has ever seen.

    It was the most succinct description of 2030s liberalism I've ever heard.
