Never saw that or read into westerns anything except the same old good vs. evil. The law is usually right. Too many kids today do not respect cops. The good guys always won in the end. They do make Jesse and Frank James into some folk hero types back then in every version of the movie. Surprisingly, I ran into people from a city where one of the James brothers jumped a wall with his horse to escape. They still looked at Frank as some good guy. He lived in Nashville, and; no one here says anything about him.
>The law is usually right.
If the law was usually right we wouldn’t have the people’s veto that is jury trials. Legalism wasn’t a thing in America before the left infected the courts. It’s not an accident that things like row v wade soon followed a generation of kids brainwashed by TV.
I remember 1950’s TV; especially the commercials which would leave one to conclude that the Western free enterprise system was alive & well with no criticisms from the Left. No one said on TV that in the USSR at least the trains ran on time. Union strikers were usually regarded as troublemakers.
It’s not like a Lifebouy ad ended with the model holding up a bar & saying, “Try Lifebouy Soap. After all, how many brands of soap do we really need?”
