Same thing with Archie Bunker ;I know it was libs pretending to be normal people,but normal people LIKED Archie.
And the Bunker houeshold was a microcosm of the US. Liberals lived and slept under Archie's roof. Liberals watched his TV and sat on his furniture. Liberals enjoyed his heat and ate his food. Liberals constantly told him how wrong he was on everything.
Archie (Carroll O’Connor) was presented as a dumb, low-life Republican who loved Richard Nixon. Notice the contrast between him and the Meathead? Meathead was the educated, liberal who looked down his nose at the common man - Archie. In real life, Carroll is a huge lib, as are most of Hollyweirdos.
