I always love learning about these allegories in creative popular media.

Yeah, to trump and others of his ilk, only white folks are real Americans. The repealing of birthright citizenship won't affect everyone born here of immigrant parents - only the non-white babies.

Some thoughts....

I always appreciate the unique style and perspective of the author.

“this planet has seen its last sunrise.”

Sunrises and sunsets are only viewed from a local perspective. Depending on how one would prefer to interpret it, the planet itself experiences all it's sunrises and sunsets simultaneously, or it experiences none at all since the planet itself as a whole is always facing its sun.

Regarding when Kal-El arrived in the US, it's certainly interesting to ponder what the tenor of immigration views was like in the latter part of the Great Depression. In 1936, Kansas went to FDR by 7 points. FDR in 1932 and LBJ in 1964 were the only other times in the last 100 years that Kansas went to a Democrat.

If the Right can pretend to love Jesus while ignoring everything about him, they can certainly pretend to love Superman while ignoring everything about him too.

Jesus always told us it was weak cuck behavior to care about others. It’s right there in the Book of Chad.

They prefer Batman, who is essentially a cop with no restraints. Zach Snyder in particular doesn't believe in a "hero" that isn't primarily self-concerned.

There was a period where Batman was a cop with restraints — he never used lethal force and he give a kid who screwed up a second chance

I'm surprised Judge Dredd didn't catch on more here.

I can imagine millions of Americans reading his adventures and thinking, "Yeah! That's how it should be!"

That commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thyself" is so passé now.
