In the 1990s, we were concerned about the rise of fascism draped in patriotism, and lead by an intelligent and charismatic leader. Turns out we should have been worried about the stupid Nazis instead!

The other night we watched the #BobRoberts movie, and I gotta say it feel an awful lot like life today then I’d like it to. It was a well done movie.

And this seemingly innocuous rise of talk-radio punditry, for me, clearly had an agenda to it. The #deregulation under #Reagan that allowed that and the further deregulation under #Clinton, post #BobRoberts, led to more and more conglomerates of radio stations throughout the country that were relentlessly pursuing an agenda that served the elite class.

🧵
> Robbins, who starred, wrote, and made his directorial debut, was aiming for satire, but beneath the parody was an x-ray of the American psyche in the post-Reagan era that exposed all sorts of malignancy. Bob Roberts was both a wake-up call about the vulnerabilities of our increasingly polarized political system and an instruction manual for how to take advantage of them.
