I dunno man, I've watched most of his stuff and just don't get the same reaction. Sure, lots of it appeals to those people, but those people see what they want to see, really. There are a fucking ton of anti-corporate messaging in most of his western shows, and plenty of progressive concepts as well. Shit the ending of yellowstone had howels of protest from MAGATS becuase the ending, well, not to spoil it but it didn't end in a way red hatted twits fucking wanted.
Maybe I'm not as cynical as I thought, but most of his stuff (again, haven't seen Lioness) is pretty effectively delivered in my mind in the famework of "What would this character do/think/say" without necessarily taking a stance one way or the other as a show. Mayor of Kingstown is getting...pretty damn anti-law enforcement in many ways.
You're not wrong. MAGA loves them some yellowstone. But MAGA is stupid, and without nuance.
