The message you took away was not the message intended by Carpenter, and additionally probably not the message many of the people who saw the flick got.They probably "got" Carpenter's message that consumerism (championed by conservative Republicans) was evil. Corporations were evil...that's a theme of numerous Hollyweird flicks including that one.

If somebody made a movie like you wanted, it wouldn't be about people enjoying consumer goods, it would be about people being snowed by the media and entertainment industry into drifting towards socialism. Another "It Can't Happen Here" which was intended to thwart fascism. Socialism is a kind of fascism.

Consumerism isn't the threat....socialism is the threat.

LOL! I love it!

Great movie!

The Aliens in that movie are the Establishment/Globalist in reality.

You don’t get it.

Commercialization, is the opposite of Capitalism.

The movie is about the evil of Commercialization.

(Carpenter misunderstood the story, it’s Archie Bunker redux)

I was always a Mr. Wonderful fan. Him a Piper made a great pair.

The original Wrestlemania was probably the peak of professonal wrestling.

Reptilian globalists which David Icke popularized......They Live was ahead of its time. Many of the worlds leaders do remind me of unfeeling, non-empathizing, cold blooded reptiles and similar "monsters"....Hillary and Obama do.
