Sunday's episode was a follow-up to the Griffin family on a cross-country trip through Oregon for a visit to the final Blockbuster Video store. While on route, they stop off at an Midwestern restaurant where they discover the diner is crowded with MAGA-wearing Trump supporters.
The show pointed its hat towards the end to a scene from the film The Birds in which the Griffin family retreats slowly back to their cars and are observed by a horde of Trump supporters who alternate screaming “Trump.”
