Breakdown: 1975 is new on Netflix

OMG. Brilliant documentary narrated by Jodie Foster. Absolutely f'ing brilliant.
By the end it will be obvious we've come full circle to the denial and dysfunction politically that was obvious during the Reagan years.

Their argument that the nostalgia craze, which peaked with television's Happy Days, provided GOP Think Tanks with the concept for putting conservatism back in the White House. It could be the 1950s again.

It took a while -- 1980 -- to set it up (and torpedo Jimmy Carter). But they did it.

MAGA played the same game in 2016, more or less. They dangled a similar carrot.
