    Nothing like landing on a metaphorical parallel and then beating it past the point of submission.

    Calling Daenerys "liberalism" considering how the show ended is certainly a choice

    Might be an accidentally brilliant comment if you consider liberalism applied at home is entirely different from liberalism applied abroad, like in Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya etc.

    I think it's supposed to mean the Democrat leadership has been stuck diarrheaing itself, isolated from its support base since 2011

    Samwell Tarly literally introduced literal liberalism to the realm. Please learn what it is.

    The person making the comparison is probably a leftist because leftists think liberals are fascists and evil. So Dany going mad and killing people is very much how leftists think liberals are.

    I mean, the second rise of fascism in the western world is caused by liberalism completly failling to keep its' promises to the lower classes

    And that's why people would say Dany is a liberal. You agree then.

    This post is about people making political comparisons between America and Game of Thrones? Why are you arguing if you don't even understand the analogy?

    I wasn't arguing about game of throne, only about your views on liberalism and leftists

    I never said that leftists were wrong to see liberals that way I just said "this is what leftists see liberals as" and you agreed so WHY ARE YOU ARGUING?

    I mean, liberals tend to promise change and turn out to be for the status quo. Dany was the symbol of change from the egotistical rulers in King's landing, but turned out to be the good old, mad queen of the Targaryen.

    Liberalism is certainly batshit hysterics based on raw emotion with little reason/logic/and forsight..
    SO Honestly it all lines up. (not commenting on the rest cuz it's obviously dead on)

    This is the perfect analogy

    Now I never saw the show, and I only read the first three books, and that was close to a decade ago... but I am 100% sure this analysis is incredibly wrong.
