I agree, I'm going to miss Bill during his time off also and this was far and away one of his best "New Rules" ever! What Trump voters want is to get back an America that existed only on TV. They want Mayberry, with Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney and Aunt Bee and little Opie and they sure as hell didn't want any Black people living there. They want Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver (and not the kind of beaver that they think nasty liberals think of).
The America they want only existed on a back-lot at Delslu Studios next to the Star Trek set and was torn down a long time ago. It never existed in the real world except in their imagination of how they think America once existed in the 1950's and early 60's and it wasn't really there! They remember kids sitting around the TV set watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1964, while the Norelco commercial showed Santa riding an electric razor head in the snow and the Budweiser Clydesdale's puled a sleigh full of kegs of beer and they thought that was all real. Well guess what? It Wasn't!
It was all very well done advertising and wonderful Hollywood imagery! The whole damned thing was all put together to make you imagine a world that you would think should be, not one that really existed with no Blacks or Hispanics or NAs or Asians or bigotry or racism or sexism or hate or crime or rape or murder or problems that could not be solved in 23 or 46 minutes and the world that they bought into was the one that they were tricked into thinking should and now thinkreally was and is the one that they want back and it was never fucking real in the first fucking place! They bought into an illusion of an America that never existed and that they are now demanding that they want back, but it was never real! They really want Mayberry back and voted for Trump to give them a TV show or a series of TV shows back as real life!
Good stuff PJ, thanks for posting.
Gonna miss Maher's keen insight during his July time off.
