There is something astounding about conservative entertainment-style propaganda, it's always about time travel to consult some historical father-figure that mansplains to you badly why he's right.
There are multiple movies that have this plot, the Superbook has this plot. It's amazing that conservatives cannot impart their morals in any other way but via dictation from a long dead daddy. They can't think of a way to do it through metaphor or abstraction or character dynamic, no they have to bring Ben Franklin or Ronald Regan back from the dead to TELL you.

Cena_mark - 2021-05-29 The conclusion of just about every Preger U video is to do things as they were done in the past, because there were no problems back then.

Isn't this a dupe?
or am I thinking of yet some OTHER Reagan as god figure time travel propaganda?

Binro the Heretic - 2021-05-29 Maybe that Japanese video game where Reagan, Lincoln and the founding fathers step through some kind of wormhole thingy at the end?

"Did you know he committed high treason when he sold weapons to our enemies and used the money to fund a right wing insurrection in Nicaragua?"
"uh.. no?"
"Did you know he was likely totally senile by the end of his second term and may have been suffering from dementia even in his first term?"
"Wait, what?"
"Did you know he cheated on his first wife with a woman who had a reputation for having sex with men to help her career?"
"He did?"
"Yep! Then he married the woman he cheated on his wife with and turned his back on his children from his first marriage."
"Wh-WHAT?"
"Did you know he called his second wife 'mommy?'"
"Euw!"

Old_Zircon - 2021-05-29 It's a Youtube Kids video, they can't have comments.

jfcaron_ca - 2021-05-29 Didn't he also rely on his wife's astrology horoscope readings to guide national policy decisions?

Gmork - 2021-05-30 Yes, a lot of political idiocy happened because The Gipper allowed his wife's Woo Woo Shaman to dictate the exact date and time things had to happen in order to manifest blah blah blah. It caused real, tangible problems. Things didn't happen when they should have, windows were missed.

Old_Zircon - 2021-05-30 Also apparently on the Bedtime for Bonzo set he got drunk and was on either the giving or receiving end of a handy from that chimp, it's unclear which. But it's 100% true.

Old_Zircon - 2021-05-30 It's how he got the name "The Gipper"
