Lear's efforts to demagogue against "Archie Bunker" were proven unsuccessful when Reagan won in 2000, but they kept trying, and they might ultimately succeed via immigration/amnesty. Lear's effort to "overhaul straight, white America" may have backfired by showing the (term then-current) Wallace-voting "hard hats" that the moneyed liberal elite had set its face against them, turning them into "Reagan Democrats".

...that the moneyed liberal elite had set its face against them, turning them into "Reagan Democrats". Never thought of it that way, but I think you're right. Insightful.
