Every social/political group with any history has a ‘golden era’ where their cause came out victorious and as such stays green in their memory. Almost always there is selective memory at work as inconvenient truths and facts are forgot while the victories are magnified. As a rule, it appears that these periods have to be at least 25 years in the past for this selective memory to work, probably a normal human psychology quirk.
Conservatives usually will pick the Reagan Presidency (1980-89) to remember in this manner, while the LEFT will remember the delicious chase and destruction of Richard Nixon (1971-3), primarily through his own hubris. The memory of a crusading newspaper and an avenging media working together against a prickly and un-photogenic Nixon and the parade of maligned henchmen in the hot seats of the Senate Watergate Committee probably feels like the best of the LEFT in recent history!
So it is no surprise that the current LEFT MSM & Hollywood would like to remind us of how similar Nixon is to Trump for, rest assured, that that contextual theme will be strong in this series. Bet on it!
