Wildly popular ‘Yellowstone’ had to turn into dog shit to keep its political message from making America Great Again
Yeah, that’s the bottom line.
The show was taking over the fucking country.
It struck so many nerves, its creator, Taylor Sheridan, didn’t know what the hell to do. So to save his ass in Hollywood, he came out with:
YELLOWSTONE ISN’T CONSERVATIVE. IT’S PROGRESSIVE.
Thereby trashing the millions of conservative fans who put so much money in his pocket.
By the way, Taylor owns three big ranches—so he really is following the Progressive playbook. Be a man of the people, but live like a baron.
Anyhow, the basic Yellowstone plot line was eventually mangled and degraded and the hero, rancher John Dutton (Kevin Costner), ended up looking like a clueless Dumbo.
That’s when I stopped watching.
The original core of the show was: one man owns his own land. PERIOD. THAT RIGHT IS SACRED.
And that man will do anything to keep his land, while enemies on all sides try to take it away.
That man won’t surrender his property no matter what.
In this case, John Dutton’s main enemies are the government, several land developers, and an Indian leader/businessman/casino owner.
Plus every Wokey Doke asshole who shows up with a Lefty agenda. Dutton’s daughter, Beth, immortally dispatches these clowns so viciously, she instantly endears herself to half of America forever.
But then John Dutton is convinced his only way to keep his ranch is to win the governorship of the state. To run and get elected.
Which he does, off-screen. Very badly executed plot twist. Rushed.
To make a stupid thing worse, once he’s in office, he wanders around, clueless, mumbling and sucking his thumb, like Donald Trump trying to figure out what to do with Fauci.
When I turned off the show for good, Costner was in the dark about how to leverage his new political power to save his ranch.
What??!
There he was, governor, and he was burping and fuming and wearing a big ridiculous black cowboy hat with floppy elephant ears.
“To beat the government, become the government…but then, beat it how? I don’t know. I’m bobbing in a sea of bullshit and I don’t know how to get out.”
ONE MAN MAKING WAR TO SAVE HIS LAND AGAINST THE FORCES OF EVIL IS NOW A DUMB POLITICIAN.

The inalienable individual right to property—which was what the show WAS—contradicting decades of Socialist slimeball propaganda that reduced all people to wards of the State…
That electric premise of the show, which millions of Americans responded to with their own electric passion…
GONE.
FUCKED.
COMPROMISED.
Make America stupid again.
So now the staggering show has five more episodes to air, starting in November, and then that’ll be that. The end.
ONE MAN.
OWNS ONE PIECE OF BEAUTIFUL LAND.
IN THE WEST.
HE’LL FIGHT TO SAVE IT AND PASS IT DOWN TO HIS FAMILY, AND THEY’LL PASS IT DOWN…FOREVER.
BUT THEN.
NO.
THE COLLECTIVE MUST HAVE THE FINAL SAY.
THEY RULE.
NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO IF HE HAD A PIECE OF LAND.
BUT TOGETHER THEY CAN TELL THE ONE MAN WHAT HE CAN AND CAN’T DO.
“Environmentalists” will show up and claim this was originally Indian land, sacred land, and the Indians should have it back. Baloney. Long before the white man ever showed up, these holy Indians were fighting each over that land, making war, taking the land from each other, killing each other.
Just like African tribes were fighting wars against each other and taking each other as slaves and buying and selling each other as slaves long before the white man ever showed up.
James Madison: “Government is instituted to protect property of every sort… [and] that alone is a just government which impartially secures to every man whatever is his own.”
John Adams: “Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist.”
You’ll own nothing, and those who own it WILL BE happy.
They’ll tell you your cows are farting too much and frying the planet. They’ll tell you your cows have bird flu and have to be destroyed. They’ll tell you your land is blocking migrants from coming into America. They’ll tell you other people have no land, so yours has to go to them. They’ll tell you all land is rented from the government. They’ll tell you your work is meaningless. They’ll tell you no one owns anything, and that’s the only way freedom can exist.
They’ll tell you whatever they want to, so they can take what’s yours.
They’ll tell you if you fight back, you’re a terrorist.
At the beginning, Yellowstone showed you what one man told THEM. And how he fought back.
And then, Yellowstone went down the toilet through cowardice.
