> When we met [Alex P. Keaton](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083413/characters/nm0000150?ref_=tt_cl_t3) in 1982, he was a Reagan Republican teen being raised by two former Flower Children. I think Alex even had a poster of Alan Greenspan in his room. Alex was very much a believer in Reagan’s supply side economics and the Trickle Down Theory. Fast forward to 2016. Would Alex have gotten on the Trump train?
