CW’s Supergirl has built up quite a rap sheet of liberal offenses over the years. But that’s all supposed to change since this fourth season will, allegedly, “try and unite a divided people,” according to executive producer Robert Rovner. From this second episode alone, I’m going to have to call that bluff.
The October 21 episode (https://forums.superherohype.com/threads/season-4-episode-2-fallout-spoilers.545767/) “Fallout” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/75211-s04e02-fallout/?tab=comments#comment-4772589) follows the public revelation that President Olivia Marsdin (Lynda Carter) is, in fact, an alien herself. This information leads to a contentious political debate between people mad that their president isn’t even from Earth, never mind a natural born citizen, as required by the Constitution, and people fine with it since she pushes policies they like. The latter is actually an argument Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) makes, saying, “You've done so much good. People need to remember that. Every step of your presidency promoted compassion, and equal rights for all.” And people think Trump wants to destroy the Constitution...
This leads to the inevitable violent mobs in front of the White House with Supergirl flying in to stop the fighting, bring back hope, and prevent another Charlottesville scenario.
