"It's an "alternate universe" take on what would the country be like had the South won the civil war."
Given the feelings blue-staters have for
red-staters, not to mention Southerners,
you just KNOW it won't be pretty.
Depends on the blue stater, and which portrayal would be realistic enough for Southerners to accept without having their feelings hurt or Northerners to watch and not feel it was 'realistic' enough?
or Northerners to watch and not feel it was 'realistic' enough?
** That should say 'not realistic' enough...
I think it isn't so black and white (or red and blue). A lot of so-called blue staters are not anti-south, nor are they all liberal, and a lot of red staters are liberal dems (especially in the urban enclaves, Atlanta, New Orleans,etc.)
I am not comfortable with this kind of alternate reality scenario. It's too simplistic. Maybe there would have been no raising of a flag at Iwo Jima. Maybe there would have been no Neil Armstrong planting a flag on the moon.
That's the problem with alternate reality concepts; for every alternate reality, there are infinite alternate universes encompassing each possibility.
And I have no faith at all that Hollywood would give the south any kind of fair treatment.
