But it's just like it's really significant.
Like, if you just –
The easiest thing to do is just go on YouTube and watch old episodes of a TV show called All in the Family, which was a very famous, successful TV show when I was a kid.
And All in the Family was a microcosm, a fictional microcosm of basically the culture wars, political wars of the late 60s into the 1970s.
And it was famously this character, Archie Bunker.
who sort of represented, you know, this white guy, and he basically, great, brilliant actor named Carroll O'Connor played him.
And he basically played a retrograde, basically Republican, you know, Nixon-supporting Republican, and this would be in like, I don't know, 1972 or something, 1974.
who just basically was painted in the show as like the most backwards, like basically archaic, knuckle-dragging, racist, sexist, just like the worst possible person in the world.
And then there was his son-in-law, played by young Rob Reiner, who Archie Bunker nicknamed Meathead.
Which is what the character became known as.
And Meathead was basically just the arch progressive liberal, right?
You know, sort of like, you know, think, I don't know, young Gavin Newsom or something, right?
Where just like he had just like the exact politically correct approved view of the time.
And so he's like, you know, at the time, you know, the equivalent then of super woke, super progressive.
super liberal, super enlightened on all these issues.
And the conceit of the show, and the guy who created the show is this famous television producer named Norman Lear.
And the conceit of the show was supposed to be a moral, it was supposed to be a moral lesson of Meathead giving basically moral lectures to Archie Bunker every week to try to get Archie Bunker to stop being such a backwards looking like 1950s retrograde, basically racist, sexist guy and come into the modern world.
And of course what happened was Carol O'Connor, number one, the actor was just like super funny.
But the other was the political environment was superheated at that point.
And of course, it turned out Archie Bunker ended up being the star of the show.
