Thanksgiving should be a time to put aside politics in favor of food, family, and the few things that still bring us together in commonality. For CW’s Supergirl, however, it’s another time to bring up politics for their leftist agenda. Sadly, the American holiday becomes yet another political talking point for the Girl of Steel.
The November 18 (https://forums.superherohype.com/threads/season-4-episode-6-call-to-action-spoilers.546561/) episode (https://www.reddit.com/r/supergirlTV/comments/9yc8t9/supergirl_4x06_call_to_action_post_episode/) “Call to Action” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/76004-s04e06-call-to-action/?do=getLastComment) features a rise in anti-alien sentiment in the fictional National City. To quell tension, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) uses her reporter alter ego Kara Danvers to have a live debate with anti-alien provocateur Ben Lockwood (Sam Witwer). Unbeknownst to Supergirl, Lockwood is the leader of the “Earth First” group called the Children of Liberty, who have been terrorizing alien citizens for weeks.
They discuss the role of human exceptionalism, hate speech, and other topics, but, rather quickly, the subject shifts to Thanksgiving, which is just one day away in the episode. As per usual in these liberal shows, we’re reminded that the holiday is not just about togetherness but the European invaders who slaughtered innocent Native Americans. Happy Turkey Day, everyone.
