We need more of this. If Democrats do not learn this lesson, we will have only ourselves to blame for the consequences. We think a lot of it goes back to popular shows like "Hee Haw", "Green Acres", and - maybe worst of all - "The Beverly Hillbillies". Lordy, how loaded those were with every demeaning stereotype! Thanks, Deanna and Jim.

For some real misogyny, see the Perry Mason series which originally ran from 1957-66 (now re-running on METV and Great American Family channels and I'm sure others). The Great American channel is a RWNJ channel backed by--- you guessed it, Evangelicals. They love them some REAL misogyny!
Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, Jerry. We did not know who was backing the Perry Mason reruns, but we are not really surprised! (BTW, never liked that show.)
The one thing that Perry was solid about was the truth. It's odd (ok, weird) that the evangelicals have attached their wagon to a man (tRump) who in the era of Mason would be run out of town on a rail in the late 50s...lol
