They might see that other countries also have beautiful landscapes. They might get exposed to people with foreign accents and learn that those people are just people as well! The foreign-made films will be less subject to pressure from the US government. They might be exposed to other cultures, other religions, people of different skin tones , and accept them as actual people. All of these things are 'bad, very bad', from a christonationalist fascist viewpoint.

So the wall to the south was never about keeping Mexicans out but to keep Americans in? Sounds familiar.

Itโ€™s ok, you can totally just censor all the queer stuff, union references, beautiful mountains, environmental ideology etc. China is already doing that sort of โ€œquality controlโ€ for all imported entertainment.

In some cases, you may meed to resort to some creative editing, since the solar panels and wind turbines will get in the way. Maybe replace them with coal plants and black smoke?

That won't work, they would still see that people in other countries are just people too. That goes against the dehumanization agenda of the ring-wing extremists.

Yeah, youโ€™re right. Better just ban all foreign influences. Americans should only see movies approved by the Ministry of Truth. In movies like that, all foreigners basically nothing but vermin, begging to be exterminated by the pure and just Americans.
