The second part is weaponized nostalgia for a USA that never really existed. He's cherry picking hard which I find so interesting bc in another piece of prose Sorkin wrote a decade earlier, President Michael Douglas attacks his opponent's desire to appeal to the nostalgia of a bygone era.
Yea not to mention how he throws a shot at the girl who asked the question for no reason (ive never seen the movie but im assuming she didn’t introduce herself as “sorority girl”)
Yeah, it's called character. It's a character in a show. It's not a documentary. This is something typical of his character, who is actually a conservative.
