And this is exactly why Animal House remains a true movie classic. It was set in a time and place when America was at its greatest.
My 18 year old niece never heard of a toga party so I watched Animal House with her and she loved it.

This point is lost on the present generation.
Back then, It was a good thing socially to be patriotic. It was common for us to be proud of our country. We loved our country, right or wrong because we knew we were the best there is in the world.
But the counter culture taught us differently. The leftists and their agenda to undermine our country, as Yuri Bezmenov claimed (youtube it), began in the 1960’s and in the 1970s. Before then, our educational system and college campus were not leftist snowflake safe spaces, but builders of character to prepare you for life and it’s tough realities. Today Marxist doctrine is promoted and ‘democratic socialism’ is on the rise. We better turn this around or it is over.
It is so easy to say “the communists did it”,,, and it looks so convenient to do so, but that really is the case. The Russians/Soviets did have an active program to undermine us, our culture, our patriotism and our country, short of nuclear war.
Apparently it worked.
I didn’t “cruise” like they did in the film. But I lived a similar vibe in the early seventies. Cars, girls, hanging out. I swear to God, it was the best time to be alive.
