Okay last chance.
House of the Dragon was on Last night. So happy I watched it. George is involved in the show and my humble opinion it was great. More brutal to my liking but Game was always more brutal.
Today I get a call from a "Friend" who indicated she is never going to watch another Show with Game of Thrones involvement because it is too liberal and have woke agenda.
I prepared myself and she went on how the Birth scene was a liberal plot design to scare woman into wanting abortions.
I let her have it. I explained that the scene was probably filmed months ago or even a year before Roe v wade was decided or leaked. I explained that the scene was a true depiction of how dangerous childbirth truly was and in fact that was how c sections had been done as a last resort that killed the mother. She also thought I was nuts that Game of Thrones and Martin's world wasn't based on the Middle Ages that there is no country ever named Westeros.
I then told this woman that the people and places are fiction but based on history. I explained that Game was based on the English Civil War.
She said England never had a civil war.
I told her shut off Faux news and actually look up history or better yet go back to school and actually learn something.
I hung up on her and I feel bad that I didn't try to be more patient.

I honestly didn't she was that dumb not to know of the english civil war. I will be honest and sometimes have to remind myself War of the Roses but yeah, I know it happened.
