The third season did everything but explicitly say "Homelander is Trump and his fans are MAGA morons."
The last episode Homelander flat out murders a protester in public, and his MAGA fans cheer.
The Boys has been the only "woke" show I've kept watching, because the story and characters have been interesting, particularly Homelander, who is a fascinating villain played superbly by Anthony Starr.
It has typical leftist tropes (e.g. Christians are either dumb sheep, or perverted hypocrites), and I've let that slide, but I think the TDS has gotten too advanced for me to continue.
So if you don't like your superheroes deconstructed, and anything remotely conservative portrayed as Literally Nazis, it's probably not worth watching.
Thanks for summing up my thoughts on the show perfectly. This (plus an interview of the showrunner I recently saw) means I'll be jumping ship and won't return for the fourth season.
