Saw press calling the Chris Pratt show on Prime “conservative revenge porn” so I watched a few episodes of The Terminal List and the plot is literally about corruption in the military industrial complex. A defense contractor gives a seal team cancer, corrupt bureaucrats cover for the contractor, and there’s a conspiracy to kill all soldiers associated with their cancer causing agent to protect the value of the contractor.

So my question is when did a story arc that highlights and shits on the dangers inherent to the military industrial complex become the exclusive purview of conservatives? As someone who was conscious of politics at the time of 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq it’s like I’ve stepped through the looking glass. The political landscape is unrecognizable from 20 years ago.
