Because we didn't know what was going on. Reagan paved the way for Trump, and it goes back even further. This has been several decades in the making. Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir here. Thanks for entertaining my rant.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
— me to your rant
Did you have to wear shades?
Yeah, even indoors.
And especially at night
At least we got the 90s.
I remember watching the show "beyond 2000". Blew my child mind what a futuristic utopia we were going to live in.
I think I may have heard that they based that version of Biff ON Trump, so really not too far from the truth.
They did.
Just because I think more people should hear it, here's Thomas F. Wilson's (Biff's) song about people asking him endless questions about Back to the Future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwKcPRCV6bI
Bikers and punks, the two biggest threats to American society in the 80s.
It's important to have a scarier, if less dangerous, boogie man when one endeavors to do terrible things to otherwise rational people.
Yeah, well that's what happens when you want your politics to satisfy your celebrity "culture" cravings, otherwise "politics are boring, why bother voting?", never allowing time for fixes and positive change to gain inertia, and it is easier and quicker for political red meat predators to break something than for well-meaning government nerds to fix it.
And also, of course - "vote for woman?! when pigs fly! muh puriteh!"
This piggish government is an accurate reflection of its' people, both the maga and the non-voting shitheads: ignorant, lazy and angry. Looking for a magical messiah, like medieval peasants.
I'm only partially joking when I say we are in the dark timeline.
Might not be the darkest timeline, but it's DEFINITELY the most bizarre one. Plenty dark too, though 😮💨
