This regime is stuffed with folks who are still living in the long 1980s. They're led of course by Trump, who could revel in his gold-plated life with abandon, but also by those who fantasize about cheap goods, rampant bigotry, falling taxes, regular moral panics and Latin American interventions.

They basically all think they're peak Arnie, or Tom Cruise in Top Gun, or Bruce Willis in Die Hard. The fantasy of exercising power gets them hard, they don't believe in consequences.

What they don't (or won't) get is that the 80s were "better" for them because the costs were all pushed out on other people, or future generations. Wonder why something is shit today? There's a high likelihood it traces back to some political tosswaffle in the 1980s wanting to feel like a real man.
