“People loved Archie Bunker. They despised the Meathead.”
Exactly. The odious Leftist, Norman Lear, created Archie Bunker in hopes this parody of a Conservative would convert folks to be Liberals. Instead Archie Bunker became the voice for a majority of America. Donald Trump is, in all the BEST ways, the new Archie Bunker.
It was American politics in a microcosm. Meathead didn’t work, ate Archie’s food, lived in his house, yet he had the audacity to try to criticize Archie and his way of life. All Archie had done was work all of his life, fight WWII and raise a family. Liberals are all Meatheads at heart.
