Trump Supporters Get Mad Because They Think The Man in the High Castle's 'Resistance Radio' Is Real

Some conservatives and Donald Trump supporters are freaking out online because there’s a new pirate station called Resistance Radio, dedicated to fighting fascism and Nazi propaganda. Only one problem: It’s fake.

Amazon announced this week that it was launching Resistance Radio as a companion program for The Man in the High Castle, an alt-history drama loosely adapted from the Philip K. Dick novel. The pre-recorded radio program is basically a bunch of people talking about how the Third Reich is bad and does bad things. For some, they thought that applied to America’s current president (and/or they didn’t bother actually listening to it). In response, several irate opposers flocked to Amazon’s sponsored #ResistanceRadio hashtag to complain about the station’s “liberal agenda.”

Totally not on edge.

 

[Future PhaZe]

time to make it happen then

 

[ahoyhoy]

Knee jerk defense of facism?

Are we the baddies?

 

[Mailbox]

and that right there should be about 2000 red flags for just about everyone.

 

[jelly]

So they know their facists?

 

[HStallion]

The hard hitting true to life documentary Wolfenstein The New Order really got them running scared when they heard there was a Nazi killing bad ass going on a rampage.

[WedgeX]

I only made it halfway through season two.

Did the Resistance

Spoiler

ever stop playing a villain role? Were any of them more relatable then Smith?

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Have you noticed that our caps actually have little pictures of peace symbols on them?

Anyone have that pict of fox putting on Bioshock infinite art to make a serious point?

 

[Brandon F]

Off tangent, but is the show worth watching?

 

[Beer Monkey]

Fighting Nazis isn't liberal, it's American.

 

[stuminus3]

Oh no not the liberal agenda!

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

The years of conservative opinion news has turned their brains into mush.

 

[Stereogatari]

What do you expect from people who think Alex Jones is real.

 

[Screaming Meat]

That's too perfect.

 

[Funky Papa]

Season 2's OT was scarily prescient.

Makonero totally looked into the i ching.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Amazon knew exactly what it was doing.

 

[jelly]

If you need help falling asleep.

I pushed through with S1 but it was so draining I can't bare to watch S2.

 

[Ithil]

The dipshits always going on about "AGENDAS" like they never push for anything in their lives are tiresome. Just another scary buzzword that means nothing like "politicize".

 

[Funky Papa]

Amazon knew exactly what it was doing.

The universe is terrific, but the first season is sloooooow. I keeping S2 in my favourites for that time when I manage to muster the strenght to plough with it.

On the plus side, the book is much worse.

 

[Fulminator]

what was the original tweet?

 

[OldRoutes]

Off tangent, but is the show worth watching?

It's a really fascinating universe, but the first season can be watched without paying that much attention. It could've easily been 4 episodes shorter.

 

[JimJamJones]

what was the original tweet?

.

 

[jett]

Off tangent, but is the show worth watching?

Nah.

 

[Zen Aku]

Even they know they're supporting fascism. Lol

 

[SparkleMotion]

Trump supporters get triggered really easily.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Trump supporters aren't the brightest bulb in the box, who knew

 

[Zushin]

Off tangent, but is the show worth watching?

Season 1 is slow, but Season 2 is really good.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Is it really a secret that these dipshits are the same ones that would lick Adolf's boots if they had the chance?

 

[Einchy]

Off tangent, but is the show worth watching?

Season 1 is legit terrible.

It's a show where you wonder if the show runners were actually trying to make the worst leads ever.

 

[HStallion]

Season 1 is legit terrible.

The book isn't very good and really slow as well so if its at all close to the original novel I'm not surprised it makes for a really bad TV show with a great premise.

 

[nomis]

antifa are the REAL fascists, guys

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I'm always skeptical about these articles where they find a few tweets.

You can find a few dumb tweets reacting to anything.

That's what's so tragic, the premise and the look of the show is great but the characters ruin it all.

What is this Left Wing Loonie #ResistanceRadio nonesense? Are they still resisting facts like Trump is President & Crooked may go 2 prison?


Man, they can't let Hilary go, huh?

 

[Got]

So they know their facists?

they revel in it but probably without realizing they are.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Someone please reair Orson Welles' radio play of War of the Worlds. I want to see how these idiots react to it.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Looking at the hashtag is hilarious.

Lots of "What are you resisting?!?!" quips.

The Trump cult quickly comes to the defense of their master even for perceived slights against him.

I'm surprised they haven't waged war on the color orange yet for making him look bad.

 

[Killa Sasa]

Would these dumb shits be against the inglorious basterds too?

No never. The hate runs so deep for women and minorities (Obama's case).

 

[Scirrocco]

You mean the inglorious (((globalists)))?

The modern version of this is fake news websites and tweets and that scenario has already played itself out to where we are right now.

 

[Lucky Seven]

Wait theyre making a third season?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Wait theyre making a third season?

Looks like it.

It seems odd to launch a companion to a dead show.

Hopefully they get it out this year instead of next. Season 2 was way better than season 1.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

LOL Trumpers are Triggered.

But anyway I'm done with this show. First season showed promise but S2 doubled down on the stupid, boring main characters.

As I said on the OT, you know you've fucked up a show when the NAZI is the most sympathetic person on it.

 

[andythinkpad]

I like how the pissbaby reality blew pass Veep, easily pass The House of the Cards, and catching up to High Castle any minutes now.

Are we still in the Running Man realm or in Dredd already?

 

[Lucky Seven]

Yeah I liked the latest season too. I just honestly didn't expect another season, I thought people didn't like the show that much. The season did end rather abruptly, though, so I guess I should've realized.

Basically this.
