Fake Radio Ad From TV Show Angers Some Real Life Trump Voters

If you’ve seen the Amazon show “The Man in the High Castle” you know that in it, the U.S. exists in a parallel universe where the Germans and Japanese won World War II. The U.S. has been occupied by the Japanese in the West and the Nazis in the East, with a tiny area in the middle that is neutral. That area is occupied by the Resistance, which is fighting for independence.

A few days ago, a fake radio ad created to promote the new season of the show angered some real-life Trump supporters who believed it was the real thing. Some called it “left wing loonie nonsense” and some mocked it for trying to compete with real radio shows.
