My gen x friends complained about the villains in Captain Planet, but the we got Trump.

Also, Tomorrow Never Dies was loosely based on Rupert Murdoch.

Rich Biff in Back to the Future 2 was supposedly based on Trump.

My dad complained that Captain Planet was “libtard environmentalist propaganda” 30 years ago. Some things never change. Now it’s just Trump instead of Limbaugh.

These aren't even people who publicity identify as conservative. Publicly...

They basically just stood still long enough and became conservatives that watch Daily Show.
