Gotham and the Riots
My personal musings ^ | 6/3/20 | Pontiac

Posted on 06/03/2020 6:40:56 PM PDT by Pontiac

Over the past few months, I have been watching the Gotham series on Netflix.

I have come to see parallels in the series’ plot to events now taking place. The machinations in the series of the League of Shadows and Ra’s al Ghul to bring down Gotham by creating chaos in the city seem to parallel the machinations of the Democrat Party.

I see that the Democrat Party and their surrogates, Black Live Matter and ANTIFA appear to be doing exactly that on a much larger scale across the United States.

The governors (especially Democrats) are ignoring their duty to maintain order just as the governor did in the Gotham series. Is life imitating art here?

Are these actions intended to bring down the United States or more simply to prevent the reelection of Donald Trump?


TOPICS: Books/Literature; Conspiracy; Music/Entertainment; Society
KEYWORDS: democratparty; gotham
Just for fun and conversation.

But the parallels are striking at least in my own twisted mind.

Here is the problem, by watching this stuff and paying for it you are in fact, encouraging what is going on right now. If people stopped using twitter, facebook, purchasing trash from Hollywood all this crap would wane.
