The judge might as well have joined these violent het male scumbags in the attack. Seriously, I hate these violent bigoted monsters. It's not bigotry to hate a bigot. That's why The Jeffersons holds up better than All in the Family and Maude holds up better than either of them.

What's so bad about All in the Family? Not that I watched it that much, but my impression was that you weren't necessarily supposed to like Archie, but he was never violent. There's always going to be people in the world with opinions we don't like, but we can't beat the shit of out of them and claim to live in a civilized society.

The older I got, the more life experience I had, and the more research I did, the more I realized that it was nothing more than a vehicle to project both Norman Lear's father's prejudice against anyone nonwhite and the classism of the British (as it was based on a UK sitcom called Till Death Us Do Part) onto the American working class. Lear is also an enabler of the tr-nscult with a flop soap opera from 1977 called All that Glitters and with at least one episode of the reboot of One Day at a Time. He is a neoliberal sellout like all the others in Hollywood. And what's worse, he gave XXX Tony Danza XXX a show. He's why "cancel culture" is a thing. I have heard criticism of him from blacks and whites, conservatives and liberals, along with accusations of racism, yet they're like teflon to him in a way they aren't to, say, XXX Walt Disney XXX.
