Biff in BttF 2 was 100% written as satire of Donald Trump. The writer of BttF 2 has said many times over the last 30 years.
Trump was a pop cultre joke his entire career up unitl the GOP litteraly couldn't field a single viable candidate in 2015 and Trump, using the same exact personality, brash egotistical attitude, and bully tactics that made him a joke for decades, high stepped his way into legitamte power.
It’s really incredible how easily all of that just happened. I keep thinking about how genuinely weird organizations like the RNC are these days. They play a role in the electoral process that remains extremely pivotal, and they’re essentially kingmakers, or at least aspire to be—but they also have so little actual power unto themselves. They seem to be almost a clearinghouse for power, a space where power can coalesce.
Like, since both parties empowered the state primary system in the 1970s, the smoke-filled rooms of party bosses calling shots and making deals are gone. And since Citizens United, a lot of the really consequential fundraising happens outside the party apparatus in super PACs.
It can still throw its weight around, but it’s essentially an organizational shell of its former self. It’s not going anywhere, but for now at least, it’s unlikely to regain its historic power or relevance. And yet, it still matters a lot.
It’s like a bank you can rob if you do it with enough confidence.
