this movie, by the way, has one of the first women Chiefs of Staff that isn't some love interest for #POTUS

notice that the #POTUS is a mashup of Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. there is nothing #GOP #Republican about him. on the contrary, the politician that appears in the Roll Call tv shot is the very embodiment of Newt Gingrich’s new KKK-Moral "Majority" (they never have been)

btw this movie was scandalous and triggered the pre-MAGA GOP because it promotes a USA with a “minority majority”; including the ethnic “whites” as embodied by Jeff Goldblum and his dad, Judd Hirsch.
a lot of zionists got their panties in a bunch for their very New York, very non-European looking Jewishness.

Bill Pullman really cosplayed Clinton for this movie, down to the way he cocks his head when doing his seriously concerned voice

Randy Quaid was really never the same after this movie, wasn’t he?

@blogdiva I absolutely loved how they slipped a broad multicultural view of the world, and the US, in particular, into an alien invasion summer flick. It echoes some themes of the original The Day the Earth Stood Still and other early, progressive Sci-Fi
