An Idea for Somebody in the Movies

Republicans love the movie Red Dawn, a movie/propaganda piece that portrays a group of young people who form some kind of resistance when the U.S. is invaded by the Russians. Has anybody in Hollywood thought of making a movie along this line that supports progressive/liberal values that liberals and progressive can rally behind? Maybe the invaders could be Putin like characters supported by Republican politicians and right wing American activists, with characters based on Trump, Pence and their administration as well as others based on people like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and other members of the conservative movement and the religious right. Just an idea.

The enemy was US. And WE did it to Iraq and Afghanistan.

WE are the bad guys, and always will be the bad guys, as long as the GOP is in power.
