It is especially sad because the rhetoric has ratcheted up so high that it will be impossible to return to more innocent times when we trusted each other and went about our business. We may have reached the point of no return.
That makes me think of about a couple of nights ago, TCM had the 1984 Goldie Hawn movie “Protocol” on for it’s late show. You can see both direct and indirect jabs at then President Reagan in the movie, but all in all, still a lightweight but watchable and sometimes amusing show that wasn’t a real waste of time or movie tickets back in 1984. And certainly very innocuous fare compared to nowadays.
