That 70's Show

[Yooper]

A lost war then, a lost war now.

The fall of Saigon (and helicopter rides) then, the fall of Kabul (and helicopter rides) now.

Inflation then, inflation now.

Gasoline shortages then, potential gasoline shortages now.

Looney environmentalism then, looney environmentalism now.

Self-destructive feminism then, self-destructive feminism now.

American hostages in Tehran then, potential American hostages in Kabul now.

National existential malaise then, the beginnings of a national existential malaise now.

Violence and racial strife (and especially in the military) then, violence and racial strife (and especially in the military) now.

One small area of difference, though: I'm okay, you're okay" then, "I'm okay, you're not okay" now. But, where it's the same is the levels of narcissism then and now.

Anti-American Democrats then, anti-American Democrats now.

A media biased against conservatives then, a media biased against conservatives now.

An inept Democrat president failing to counter a near-peer adversary then, an inept Democrat president encouraging a near-peer adversary now.

I'm sure there's more. Feel free to add on....

Terrible music and fashions – check!
