“Why, before you know it, Americans might discover that other countries, languages, and - worst of all - cultures exist. That might make them question the rightful order, and then where will we be? They’ll start asking questions like ‘wait, paid vacation is a thing?’ or ‘what’s a union?’, and we can’t have that. No, sir.”
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.
It’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 “quality control” 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.

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

They are not interested in anything but themselves.
