YMMV / Sliders S 04 E 11 California Reich

• Complete Monster: Governor Schick is the governor of California frequently likened to Adolf Hitler by the Sliders. In a world without World War II, Schick rises to power blaming minorities for crime and restricts their rights, even having them interned. Not satisfied with this, Schick has them lobotomized and mutilated to make them into android slaves on a grand scale, even children not exempt from his policies. Schick, planning to ride a wave of bigotry to the Presidency and enact his policies there, is one of the most sickening enemies the Sliders have ever faced.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The idea of a Governor turning his state into a fascist dictatorship that dehumanizes minorities before planning to do the same as President is absolutely bone-chilling after Ron DeSantis' rise to power in Florida, where he's actively demonizing LGBT people and as of this post is considering a law making it illegal to call someone a bigot.
