Because Trump voters, despite their claims of patriotism, wholly misunderstand what America is actually supposed to stand for. Through hatred, greed, bigotry and racism, they've twisted that original vision into a kind of diseased Manifest Destiny that's the black mirror version of what it was supposed to appear like. You might say most of American history has been a process of catastrophic failure to match that initial ideal. Perhaps it was impossible to begin with, taking into account the foibles of human nature. Trump is a caricature of all of that. It's like a horrible satire that was accidentally taken seriously and embraced by half the adult population, whilst the rest of the civilised world looks on, aghast.

@Richard65 perfectly stated.

@Richard65 Excellent post.

The only quibble I have is that the Hogan performance is too garish to be in a Black Mirror episode. It's kind of how 80s or early 90s actions movies were satirical. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.

Black Mirror shows a world falling apart in grey.

@Burnley123 describing it as an 80s and 90s satirical action movie is spot on. The worry is that, what we see as satire, a certain strain of macho right wing Americans see it as a straightforward depiction of reality.
