Adam McKay’s Vice — the Oscar nominated bio-pic about Vice President Dick Cheney — is a remarkably revealing film. In the same way you can watch Hallmark movies to better understand some women’s daydreams, you can watch Vice to get a gander at the absurd, small-minded and hate-filled imaginings of leftists.
To say the movie’s political views are simplistic is to insult simplism. Cheney is a conniving moral monster who bombs nations for profit. His president, George W. Bush, is an idiot, whom Cheney leads by the nose. Democrats are good. They put solar panels on the White House roof to save the planet! Republicans are bad. They do mean things for mean reasons because they are mean.
