As in reading WW2 books. My university classes covered that era and the aftermath of the next batch of evil stepping into Eastern Europe, Prague Spring. I thought then, how nice it is that we live free of this. And now we have this monster in the White House hell bent on destroying our democracy. So yeah, watching old 1960s shows like Dark Shadows, That Girl, 1930s movies and reading Manga backward books from the teen section at library.
