    Also what happened is that things that where highly political and controversial at the time are now “normal” and so conservatives don’t see them as political anymore because the Overton window have shifted (for the most part), so now they attack the new “unthinkable” progressive “agendas”.

      Kind of like how TOS was almost flagrantly progressive at the time, with women not only being equals on the bridge, but being allowed to wear what they wanted, like miniskirts, without having to dress like the men, but today, it’s seen as an artefact of the times, and as a sign of the comparatively regressive attitudes of the day, rather than the feminist icon it was when the show aired.
