How To Watch Some Of Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America’ Without A Showtime Subscription

We’re not in Bernie Sanders’ America yet, so television isn’t free and paid for by the state. If you want to watch Sacha Baron Cohen’s surreal new tv experience “Who Is America” on Showtime, you’ll need to pay for a subscription, or at least keep very close tabs on your 30 day free trial.

But here are the best places where you can learn about the arming of “certain gifted children,” how it’s “not rape if it’s your wife,” and that “toddlers are pure, uncorrupted by fake news or homosexuality” on “Who Is America.”
