attack of the ultra-liberal extremists!
interesting.
it's funny that it's New York that has to be sacrificed; the metaphor is obvious. Lena said something awhile ago about the irony of red-staters saying "remember September 11th" when they didn't experience it first-hand the way people did in New York, and also that if people who live there feel more secure under a Democratic president, shouldn't people in the rest of the country take a hint? but i have the feeling that in this cosmology, it's necessary for the blue-staters to be destroyed, or at least have a taste of destruction.
also, reading the creator's bio, it looks like he's really more an opportunist than an actual ideologue; at least he's entirely aware of his project's ridiculousness. which is funny as well, i'm sure everyone who profits off ideology this way is deeply opportunist somewhere in the pit of their soul.
