Having lived through the actual Cold War, watched "The Day After" live & taken classes where we had to calculate the # of dead in our hometowns as a result of varying nuclear payloads being hurled at particular targets, it is horrifying to see The Fear return.

Yes, I remember watching that too on prime time TV. Like WTF? I truly thought I would never live long enough to make it past high school. JFC. I am livid how stupid all of this is today.

I sobbed for days, sure we were all doomed to a grotesque death. Then 1989 came and the cloud lifted for a while.
Too bad tens of millions of Americans hate women so much they just had to vote for a rapist.

I’d have been much happier to skip this part of 80’s nostalgia.🫣
