Many like myself did not know this as a kid in the 80s-90s. Some of the movies he made like "sidekicks" left a positive impression at that age.

  In the 80s-90s his positions would have aligned fine with the center left.

    Forget the 80s-90s - Even California passed prop 8 in 2008.

    Some of them, perhaps. I don't think the center left would ever have been into the birther conspiracy.
    • nazgulsenpai 7mo ago
      There were conspiracy theories in the 80s and 90s too.

        There is a huge difference between general conspiracy theories and the birther lie which was more racist astroturfing than a legitimate conspiracy

      No, I'm pretty sure they would have. I remember during the primaries, Hillary tried to attack Obama by showing him in a "Muslim" garment.

        The Internet has a fairly long memory and a lot of research on topics like this, and it does not agree that Hillary ever tried such a thing. Ample evidence that GOP politicians, including Trump, tried to claim she did. And late in the primary season a few of her supporters made some sounds like that. But nobody has ever found any shred of evidence her campaign made any accusations, or started any rumors.
