CBS’s Anti-Trump Drama Fantasizes: President Hillary Cures Cancer, Saves Rainforest #Political
Imagine a Hillary Clinton fangirl dreaming of a world where Hillary is president, only to awaken and find out it's not true. CBS All-Access began streaming Season Four of The Good Fight on April 9 and uses that narrative as the storyline of the episode titled “The Gang Deals with Alternate Reality.”
In this case, the fangirl is successful liberal attorney Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and she is over-the-moon happy that Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential election. The opening scene is one of Diane watching the inauguration on television, popping champagne and humming along to “Hail to the Chief”. Then the screen goes to static and her confusion begins.
With Hillary in the Oval Office, the world is very different. Diane is asked to be lead attorney in a case going to the Supreme Court involving gerrymandering in Illinois. Elizabeth Warren and Merrick Garland are both Justices and nobody knows who Brett Kavanaugh is. A cure for cancer has been found but Clinton is refusing to say how or when that happened. Polar bears are not only plentiful again but now risk overpopulation. The Amazon rainforest has been saved but the usual Clintonian scandals have roared back to life. Hillary has a travel office scandal, email scandals, people are criticizing her haircut, and even Benghazi is back.
Donald Trump has Trump TV and it has been reduced to eight hours a day. The programming features singers singing “This Wall Was Made For You and Me” and a pretty young woman appears in an ad stating that Eric Holder will take everyone’s automatic rifles because Hillary is president.
One twist that makes Diane slowly come back to reality is when she is assigned to a case in defense of Harvey Weinstein. He is being sued over a television adaptation of a movie and he has also received the Medal of Freedom from Hillary. Diane is shocked that no one around her knows of the rape charges against him yet. The other women don’t know about the Women’s March, pussy hats, or the #MeToo movement so Diane takes it upon herself to begin the website for women. Weinstein’s assistant tells Diane that he is nervous that Republicans are going to go after him for supporting Hillary. Diane asks, “But aren’t the women Democrats?” and that question is brushed away. Once that case goes before a judge, he sides with Weinstein and says it’s just a "he said, she said" case.
The end of the episode finds Diane coming out of her state of unconsciousness. A handyman working at her home turns out to be a member of the S.W.A.T. team that raided her home at the end of Season Three. He's a big Trump supporter. Like Diane, he is confused about why no one thinks Trump is president. The final scene shows Diane in the woods where she finds her husband, conservative Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole), at his cabin hiding his guns. At that point, she snaps out of her dream.
This episode is as unbelievable as the perfect world Hillary Clinton would bring about as the story indicates. For most of us, President Hillary would be a nightmare. Ironically, Diane’s law firm was about to claim bankruptcy due to the implementation of Hillary’s high corporate tax rate.
Let’s hope the rest of the season is just the usual liberal talking points and not pure fantasy.
