As I watch the events in this 7 part miniseries unfold, I begin to make associations. The events in the series and book date back to the early 1980s, the reign of the first "make America great again" president who stopped at nothing to appease the politically emerging hard core religious faction as well as white people who would never ever vote outside the Republican Party again. Without explicitly pointing that out, Under The Banner... shows how determined this group is in terms of ensuring that white people, of a certain type, in this case LDS, have their way to preside over the power of the US. So you can connect these folks of the early 80s to the current whites and others, of 2020 and beyond. This show seems to beg the question, or answer, to "who's country is this, anyway?"
