I don't know if this was brought up yet,but last night's Walking Dead season premier did the hanging of Gregory, who was treasonous and tried to have Maggie killed. They actually said the word "assassination" when siting that him trying to kill their leader was the reason for hanging. The last 2 years, I had noticed 2 or 3 other very close parallels to what is going on in our own gov't. I wish I could remember what exactly they were, but those parallels hit me right away at the time and my jaw dropped.
