@Drdoombot pop quiz. You’re forced to make a decision that will either
A) Cost 19 lives
OR
B) Cost 20 lives
And lack of a decision will cost 39 lives.
Which do you chose?
The fictional character Jack Bauer is not just entertaining; he’s a political opinion.
And to all those people who disagree with that statement… Let me put it in a way you MIGHT understand:
A Christmas Carol
Lysistrata
Watchmen (A more modern example)
Urinetown
24
(This list could go on and on and on. If you don’t know what ANY of these are, wiki it.)
I can say with confidence that pretty much EVERY piece of literature has at least some level of a political opinion. Some, like the ones mentioned above are blatantly and obviously political. So when you say “Oh well he can’t be president cause he’s not real.”
I know the character itself is not real but the IDEA is very much so.
