era to now, US Senators are portrayed as craven and purchased.

8. What in the name of ass??! That's quite a logic pretzel. If Hollywood is as "leftist"
as he's claimed his entire sorry career. Wouldn't the environmentalists be portrayed as the heroes??!..... i know... I know.... don't look for sense where there isn't any....

13. Did you ever notice...
Some people have trouble distinguishing fiction from reality?
Even if his point were true (which it isn't), all that does is tell you that screenwriters have presented it that way. It says nothing about actual reality. One of the worst books I have ever read was "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. The bad guys in it are laughable eco-terrorists. Crichton was a right wing tool who argued against climate change and wrote a book with awful strawmen characters just so he could show the world how bad they were. What a hack that guy was. |

16. In movies any sort of "rabid" character will be a bad guy, even if it's a senator.

and hopefully you will lose your office, go to jail, and be mentioned in the talk of American history as Benedict Arnold.

While everyone is ignoring them. Jesus on a pogo stick! CRUZ is just heinous. I feel like every time he opens his mouth, it’s a crime towards humanity.

24. Throw this in his face
How white supremacists wield environmentalism to mask racism
Fascists like Brenton Tarrant weaponise environmentalism in service of white supremacism and the strategy is gaining popularity in mainstream politics. “I am an Ethno-nationalist Eco-fascist.” https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/how-white-supremacists-wield-environmentalism-to-mask-racism-25376 Or at least, we should keep this handy to fight Repukes who try to caricature environmentalists as left wing nutjobs. Ted Cruz is a walking cliche, a flaccid mush of indecipherable ignorance. To his point, I can only think of one feature film with a "rabid environmentalist" who is a villain, and practically nobody saw it. It is Night Moves, a low-budget film starring Jesse Eisenberg and Dakota Fanning. It is actually a good movie with rookie mistakes (the camera is always too far away from the actors' faces--or the director doesn't like close-ups for some aesthetic philosophical reason) that suffers from the limitations of that low budget and a third act that goes a little bit haywire. But it is a movie that I've recommended to people who like offbeat movies. |

27. In "Ghostbusters", the EPA guy was the bad guy.
That was the Reagan Era, the only era in history in which trees caused pollution, to hear him tell it.
