Archie had a good heart. He was just ignorant. And he evolved. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2018 #3

1. Archie Bunker wasn't actually motivated by malice. Trump is genuinely evil.

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath.

He's the debased collective id of the worst people in America. He is exactly the president of the newspaper comments section.
