Amerika is an American television miniseries that was broadcast in 1987 on ABC. The miniseries inspired a novelization entitled Amerika: The Triumph of the American Spirit. Amerika starred Kris Kristofferson, Mariel Hemingway, Sam Neill, Robert Urich, Christine Lahti, and a 17-year-old Lara Flynn Boyle in her first major role. Amerika was about life in the United States after a bloodless takeover engineered by the Soviet Union.[1]
Not wanting to depict the actual takeover, ABC Entertainment president, Brandon Stoddard, set the miniseries ten years after the event, focusing on the demoralized U.S. people a decade after the Soviet conquest. The intent, he later explained, was to explore the U.S. spirit under such conditions, not to portray the conflict of the Soviet coup.

Que P.A.S.A., Amerika?
So many.
So many soul-sucking names, all nauseatingly familiar.
Noem, Stefanik and Miller, for instance.
A governor, a legislator and a nativist, each obscenely loyal, giddy really, to please the The Beloved’s every bent impulse.
And what personal acts of self-abasement!
Stefanik - Amerika’s new voice at the United Nations, the very institution championed by America to renew a broken world, soon hellbent on shattering that noble promise.
Abandon Europe, embrace Putin, turn our back to Ukraine, green light Xi to swallow Taiwan whole.
Elise, feverishly yielding to The Beloved at the cost of upending international security and cooperation.
And Noem and Miller?
Bad monkeys of The Beloved’s worst domestic whims - deploying law enforcement and the military, at the cost of billions, to deport millions, and wrecking our world reknown prosperity - to achieve what the Republican-backed Secure the Border Act of 2023 would have tackled had only Trump’s feverish vanity not intervened.
Noem, Miller and Stefanik - freely committing public acts of self-abasement for the unworthiest of ends.
Que P.A.S.A., Amerika?

There are, of course, plenty of other enabling threesomes, each ready and waiting to please The Beloved.
Same show, same actors, different theme.
For example, the administration of justice:
Imagine swooning Lindsey G. the new chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jeffrey Clark, our new U.S. Attorney General, the first to serve while subject to a disbarment proceeding.
The Beloved’s pardon of nearly one thousand unrepentant Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, Medals of Freedom in hand, injustice personified.
Yep, bad things are said to happen in threes. but that’s just superstition, at least in a free-thinking world.

By the end of 2021, 725 people had been charged with federal crimes. That number rose to 1,000 by the second anniversary of the attack, and to 1,200 by the third anniversary, at which point over 890 people had been found guilty of federal crimes.
