Yeah, it's definatly a nihilistic and cynical movie, but that's how I'm feeling about the world these days, so I guess it resonated with me.
From reading reviews of it, most of the people who didn't like it took the administration as a Trump stand and the people as MAGAchuds because it was too on the nose. The poeple who liked it took it as a generic administration stand it and our society as being misled by these awful people, and therefore crippled in our ability to respond to large scale disasters, and found it frighteningly realisitic.
I do think it was a mistake to not make Streep explicitly a democrat trying to find middle ground with the right in the face of an apocalypse, because that would be way more on point. It was also too US-centric, and only implies that we use our might to thwart other attempts to do anything good in other parts of the world, but it's kind of a satire focused on the US specifically, so... :shrug-outta-hecks:
Yeah at first I thought Meryl was supposed to be more of a Hillary type corporate Democrat, the more it became a 1:1 allegory for the Trump admin the less effective the satire felt

How hard would it be to deepfakes Hilldawg on to Streep?
Biden honestly isn't all there, he's a puppet, he couldn't do anything if he tried.

At least Jonah Hill survived, poor baby.
