Have any of us said this to ourselves? That Joe Biden is very much like the Archie Bunker character? For all of us that were kids watching All In The Family in the 70's, we all remember the racist language coming from Archie for years, and that nowadays, we all know that show would never be allowed to air.
So what do you think? Is Joe Biden our "Modern Day Archie Bunker"?
It's pretty ludicrous to try to compare an actual human to a fictional character. Maybe the OP tired (-: to be cute.
Norman Lear actually ripped off a Brit sitcom, Till Death Do Us Part, which was a very successful show too, and also one that sort of endured with spinoffs and one off's like Archie's Place, which imo was a nice send off since by the mid 80s most of us were feeling better about society and ourselves. Other countries ripped off the series too
The Alf/Archie character was a racist working class and staunch Tory/Republican. Alf did not care for Thatcher though as he didn't think women should be heard unless calling him to dinner. But the racism thing wasn't so much burning crosses and not letting people vote. It was about encroaching competition for jobs didn't entail college educations. And both characters supported the party that was really about capital and bosses. The Brit show could be more explicit because Labour in the 60s and 70s was closer to socialism that even FDR and the New Deal back in the 30s. The Brits didn't a red scare like we had in the 50s because they really were commies in the 30s. LOL
But the genius was both characters skewered the Liberal Labour and Democrat parties because Alf/Archie was no fool and he knew the liberal elite didn't have his interests at heart. The American version was much softer than the brit, imo. Archie was warmer than Alf, and Mike was not an unemployed socialist bordering on outright commie.
People put down Trump supporters for being stupid. And Trump is actually McConnell's pet boy *****. But for the Trump supporters who hang in there, it's more about an enemy of my enemy is my friend ..... and the Party of Clinton cared as much about workers as the 2016 version of Wal-Mart.
However if you are a religious type who equates an IUD or even dose of Hormones with murder .... then he's your boy.
