T***p getting elected looks like the worst plot twist ever written in a desperate bid to rake in viewers. It's like they got tired of tragedy, drama, comedy, war, and thriller plots, and so decided to go all-in on reality television.

If Trump gets elected again all the late night show writers will be out of jobs.

It will be more than just show hosts SOL.

That's why they cancelled Space Force. The creators said they can no longer out-parody life itself. And I think also Veep had some similar fate IIRC.

I thought they canceled Space Force because it was bad

Yeah but the first season of most shows, especially sitcoms, is usually rough. If it feels like it has any potential at all, I think you should give it at least a second season.

Maybe. I, personally, liked it.

a desperate bid to rake in viewers

It was, except instead of a sitcom it was for Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and every other 24 hour news channel
