The Man in the High Castle is a perfect representation of conservative patriotism now. The Nazis nuke DC and suddenly every American “patriot” immediately becomes a Nazi. J. Edgar Hoover being a rat-fuck Gestapo officer was perfect and hilarious.

Straight up. They also just proved it once again with Russia.

Prior to the late 1980s, even mentioning Moscow would get you blacklisted as a commie sympathizer. Now? They’re trading fist bumps with oligarchs and taking Putin’s side over their own countrymen and allies. Nothing exposes their ‘principles’ as pure opportunism like watching Cold Warriors morph into Kremlin cheerleaders.
