Kinda, but with the later Southern Strategy, and the two parties kinda switching sides, that gets a bit muddy to follow a direct causal chain.

It's my strong opinion that the pardon of Nixon is directly responsible for the current state of partisan politics in the US.

If he had been held accountable then, we wouldn't be dealing with half of our politicians arguing that the president is above the law.

The fact Q shows up at the end to meet Jack makes me wonder if he had anything to do with the "accident".

I actually find door knockers to be the least offensive. Sure, it's the most intrusive, but it also costs the most, in time/manpower. It says that this candidate has people who support them, not just PAC money to throw at advertisement. You get to talk to a human being and gauge how much they actually believe in their candidate. You can ask pertinent questions about the issues.

The gold standard, for me, is when a local politician knocks on my door themselves. That is representation at its purest.

Pretty sure Jason has been 10 years old since 1988.

Two problems with that hypothesis.

1: Millionaire vs Billionaire.

2: Woman vs Man.

Though I think if you wanted to do a series, you'd probably want a little more conflict than a paradise planet could offer.

I could see a series in the vein of "The Love Boat" centered around Risa.
