To be fair Heinlein is still somehow a respected author so it's not a surprise that people would be blind to the Starship Troopers movie being a satire of the novel

It was a long time ago I guess but I honestly don't remember weird political stuff or anything in Starship Troopers, it seemed like a "wholesome" becoming-a-man-in-the-army sort of story because spaceships and power armor and finally feeling like I know what I'm doing in an environment of hardship and danger (but not too much danger to me personally) and dropping to a planet in power armor and maybe shoot a bug in the face or something.

Unless that was the satirical part since Heinlein knew perfectly well what war was like, but I really didn't get any fashy stuff I guess.

I'm guessing you assumed the wholesomeness included how all the soldiers were prime examples of masculinity and smart, honourable men while women can only be pilots and exist for the military to make male soldiers to feel the need to protect the otherwise defenseless female? also iirc only vets could vote

Is this far enough removed from cops being fucks to be able to discuss it?

They're still Border Cops so we'll all get hit. It's like when Harry Potter squints at something hard enough for it to look like a snake so he can talk to it

What the hell else is he supposed to say? "gently caress Joe Manchin and gently caress him specifically?"

Its West Virginia. Trump won it buy 40+ points. Romney won it by 25 points. The other senator from West Virginia, a republican, won by 30 points.

You will never get a democratic senator not named Joe Manchin in that state.

Ok so you hand over a clip of you saying that you support a rapist through inaction and sour the voting population nationwide so you can protect one seat.
