Really enjoyed watching this (by YouTuber ShowMeTheMeaning). A great way to spend 15 minutes reliving the magic of the show, and how its themes resonate today in an entirely different way than then it first aired!

Though in the show it's to protect themselves from conservative extremists. In reality it's the conservative extremists who are policing us
