3. This show isn't going to last long.

The premise is to shock the audience, but it's not going to be such an alternative universe. With Donny in office, we are going backward on so many issues. The whole look how screwed up America is with slavery. Isn't really going to be that much different than modern day Trump America. They're getting rid of voting rights, stopping the small incremental changes to prison incarceration. They're moving away from the few government regulations to protect minorities at the work place, buying a home etc. Black people are still being lynched and their white murders go free.

This show might have made an impact around 2012 when Obama was president and we were still progressing toward that "more perfect union".
