Does anyone remember that terrible miniseries “Amerika” they did in the 80s, about a fictional Commie takeover of the US?

All I remember was where they would show the Red flags with the pictures of Lenin and Lincoln next to each other.

I remember an older one, more frightening.

I vaguely remember Amerika when it originally aired. Kris Kristofferson was in it.

That was when the big three networks ran miniseries.

Don’t recall, either I didn’t have any interest in it, or I was living overseas. More likely both.

And now we have "BO as George Washington" on the cover of Newsweek. Ugh.
