DEATH BY LIGHTNING on Netflix is only four episodes and a must-watch miniseries imo if you like historical dramas.
Really great performances by the main cast, even if a bit anachronistic at times.
Did not know anything about the factional divide in the Republican Party in the 1870s and 1880s!

Can’t believe I’m devastated about a fictional representation of a president who I didn’t know a thing about until this week, what a great miniseries
If James Garfield was half as a likable as Michael Shannon in DEATH BY LIGHTNING then damn we really got robbed of a great president lol

Shea Whigham as Roscoe Conkling is such insanely good casting that you have to be at my intersection of Character Actor Sicko and History Sicko to fully appreciate but fortunately that's like hundreds of thousands of people on here

Love how cops allegedly crying over an election is principled but if it’s, say, women crying over Trump winning it’s very hilarious and funny!

This is a guy on a massive power trip who thinks he’s above the law and will never be held accountable.
And given Democrats’ pathetic track record of doing absolutely nothing in the face of Republican crimes, he’s probably right.

Seeing the worst and most sociopathic human beings in our society actively rewarded for their cruelty is what really gets to me
It’s the abject cruelty and sadism without consequences that truly breaks one’s spirit tbh

The most depressing thing to me is that I have negative faith that Democrats will ever hold anyone accountable for this.
They didn’t prosecute a single member of the Bush administration for the War on Terror, why would this be any different?

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
