Watching SyFy Twilight Zone marathon - "trumpy" episode is on

[FM123]

"It's a Good Life" the one about an evil little kid named Anthony Fremont that terrorizes his family and community....

[rampartc]

1. "he's a very bad man"

[FM123]

2. Yep!

If I squint real hard I can almost see Lindsay Graham and the rest of the GOP pathetically groveling onscreen with little TrumpAnthony Fremont....

[MFM008]

3. They all need to go

To the 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽 field

[FM123]

4. Yep, the corn field!

5. I thought you meant the "He's Alive" episode

the nazi one. ghost of adolph hitler. this episode rings so true today it's scary.

Opening narration:

“Portrait of a bush-league Führer named Peter Vollmer, a sparse little man who feeds off his self-delusions and finds himself perpetually hungry for want of greatness in his diet. And like some goose-stepping predecessors he searches for something to explain his hunger, and to rationalize why a world passes him by without saluting. That something he looks for and finds is in a sewer. In his own twisted and distorted lexicon he calls it faith, strength, truth. But in just a moment Peter Vollmer will ply his trade on another kind of corner, a strange intersection in a shadowland called the Twilight Zone.

Closing narration:

“Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because through these things we keep him alive.”

watch this trailer: it's frighteningly familiar

6. The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. First Season, episode 22.

Destroy a society? Merely turn its citizens against each other with an imaginary "other".

Closing narration: The tools of conquest do not necessarily start with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record prejudices can kill ... and suspicions can destroy ... and thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own -- for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

8. This is one of my all time favorite episodes of Twilight Zone.

It is so eerily relevant that it feels it could have just been written....

[sarge43]

9. Mine, too.

It's a timeless warning. Beware of anyone saying, "Don't look here; look there."

[smirkymonkey]

10. Very creepy.

Just like Trump. He destroys everything he touches. Someone should have offed the kid a long time ago.

[FM123]

11. Yep. Just like trump!

[FM123]

12. Watching the Twilight Zone marathon again and "To Serve Man is on!"

[Ahpook]

13. Love those series :)

I did catch "The Obsolete Man" with Burgess Meredith earlier. That one is sooo good! What a middle finger up the collective ass of the PTB

I didn't catch it, but there is one named "The Masks" if not mistaken? Older man dying with a greedy family. He sticks it to em!

[FM123]

14. The Mask episode is coming up next!

I can't seem to pull myself away from this marathon, lol

[Ahpook]

15. Ahh, so it is :)
