    Note that the picture of Obama is framed, as if it has been there for a long time. Whereas the poster of Huey may have just been slapped on the wall. He may be a disappointed Obama lib who is radicalizing rapidly. It would make perfect sense for him.

      idk, he's been wearing black panther type shirts throughout the entire series. I mean, regardless of how "left" it's been, the writers are still pretty lib, I think.

        Even if they aren't, a shift into full liberalism in the final season seems inevitable for an Amazon series. This is gonna be the next The Expanse. Just saying that it would make a lot of sense for the divorce dad character to still have that framed picture from the before times and then the posters from after his wife and him have broken up and he's stopped caring about putting things in frames.

          Yeah season 3 showed Hughie and Butcher going through a phase of more radical action after Hughie found out he was working for controlled opposition lady who is definitely not AOC, and this was depicted as a self-destructive and not worthwhile endeavor. They've kind of already primed things for some 3rd way bullshit but we'll see.

            I mean they already sidestepped the part about Hughie by

            spoiler

            Making Totally-not-AOC Lady an evil supe, who used to do the bidding of the big Evil Corp, and then double crossed the CEO to work with Homelander, and now Homelander got the presidential candidate who chose her as VP murdered, so it's very likely she'll be president in the next season, and one of the big bads to beat, like Soldier Boy in S3.

            The takeaway from all this is that the only reason why the governmental agency meant to stop supes from doing evil shit failed, was because the wrong person was leading it. Nevermind the fact that Vought was, is, and will be in league with the US Government's atrocities, and that their sheer economic, cultural and (literal) super-manpower makes any government subservient to its interests.

            It's all super-powered, Liberal Great Man Theory. At least that plot thread is libby af, not to mention trodden a thousand times already.
