No, you might have a point.
I'm old enough to vaguely remember 68 and to fully remember the 70ies. Even when Nixon parked his ass in the oval office, American popular culture, such as movies, was pretty progressive. When Reagan came, the propaganda shit hit the fans. Such as Top Gun or Officer and Gentleman already jumping innocent bystanders in the early 80ies.
