After seeing the success of I'm a Virgo and further back, The Boys on Amazon's streaming service, I've wondered exactly what is going on. Is this recuperation in action?

    Most Americans are too media and politically illiterate for the political messaging to be effective, tbh. Amazon, Disney, and the other media companies pay for media that can get them an ROI.

      Whenever I point out the political subtext of something my stupid friends typically say something like “you overthink everything” and it takes all my energy to not shout back “you didn’t think about it at all! Did you enjoy the pretty lights and noises!?”

        What's stopping you from saying "you under think everything" in response? I've been saying it for years as a response to "over thinking" (which I'll be the first to admit that I definitely do) and never lost a friend over it. Quite the contrary. Why does it make you so angry though?
