Let's hope it is the end of the movie... and not the end of Act I, just about to enter into Act II where the Major Conflict arises that will lead to a great decision/battle that carries until into Act III where the plot twist happens, and an unexpected alliance brings the forces to heel just before the dramatic climax, where everything goes to hell and all seems lost... and... <no spoilers>...

Things are uncomfortably close to the Beer Hall Putsch for me. Fortunately this guy is a long way from Hitler. Unfortunately they're totally cool appropriating symbols for nazism.

Not just appropriating.

Outright quoting Hitler.

That's the action of a woman who has grown very comfortable with the rightward careen towards white supremacist fascism.

It's baffling to me that these people don't recognize that things can careen leftward just as quickly. It probably shouldn't be.
