Yes it is weird to sequence the events of that time, especially because it is in the dark, in terms of internet searches. At the time the most novel thing was to have computer generated calendar images; New Romantic music that was mostly synthesisers, struggling with an ancient typewriter, a mounting pile of magazines in one's room and the advent of Max Headroom on MTV. Al Gore was certainly made out to be widely popular in black communities. I remember him talking about the environment, and there were lots of apparatchicks in the social sphere that wore red stars on their hats, stating that global warming was bad, green party was good (or so it seemed in Scandinavia, where they had their holiday) and that AL Gore was OK. Ronald Reagan was of course, the devil, because he recommended that kids eat more ketchup.
I screwed up one thing :-) ... It wasn't so much the USSR collapsed from out of nowhere ... It was, according to the media fuckers, Mikhail Gorbachev being the rational voice of reason and surrendering since the evildoer Reagan was insane and was ready to launch all of our missiles.
If it wasn't for all of that perestroika and glasnost stuff given to the world by the noble soviets, we all would surely be dead ... Or something like that.
For whatever reason, I remember when Gorbachev was in the USA for a State dinner with the Reagans. The media seemed obsessed with pointing out that Gorbachev was wearing a suit while the evil, capitalist pig Reagan was wearing a tuxedo (this indicating our obsession with excess or some other wacky communist opinion presented as fact).
What's hilarious is that Russian collusion was a-ok with libs back then. Ted Kennedy was corresponding with the Soviets to help undermine the Reagan Administration. Nobody in the media cared.
