the fanbase is actually pretty pissed at the writers for what transpired in the last season. not so much because daenerys became a paranoid, mass-murdering, dictator (i wouldn’t necessarily call her socialist. i don’t think the show ever touches on economics) but because her descent into madness seemed to come out of nowhere within the span of 1-2 episodes and it went against everything that he character had previously stood for.

there were quite a few lapses in judgement and consistency during the last season. just all around terrible writing. which is odd because the writers demonstrated that they could write at least decently in the last few seasons even after they ran out of source material. but they dropped the ball pretty hard and it seems like they did it intentionally. but the reason is still a mystery to me. who would benefit from tanking the biggest show on television? perhaps you are right that they did it just to piss off the fans but i don’t know if politics had anything to do with it. i never got the impression that the show was exclusively for liberals or had a heavily left leaning audience. maybe they just get a hard on from frustrating people. like the cable company from that south park episode.
