Even his defenders are saying, “OK, so he did it…” - which means they’re not just fine with what he did (which sadly doesn’t surprise me), but also with his lying about it.
Before all this, I had coincidentally thinking about how wobbly ideas of “consent” were in the '80s and how teen popular culture strongly pushed rape culture. His supporters seem to think that’s a defense of him - when the reality is that it’s just an indicator that there’s a whole lot of men who came of age in the '80s who aren’t remotely suitable for any sort of public office…

Yep, tis true; from Revenge of the Nerds to 16 freakin’ Candles.
Hell, even listening to some classic songs from back in the day, the message being sent is disturbingly rapey as fuck.
This shit has gone on for way too long…

I didn’t watch a lot of teen movies as a teen in the '80s, but my response to them was uniformly, “This… is not right.” I have no nostalgic feelings about teen movies from my youth.
It’s not like it was new, either - the teen movies were just more explicit, so their promotion of rape culture was as well.
The lack of suitable men for public office goes back a long ways… we’re just so used to them.
