When Back to the Future came out in the mid-1980s, a fellow named Joe Biden was getting ready for an ill-fated presidential run, and someone named Clinton from Arkansas was on the mind of far-seeing people. If the movie were real, Doc Brown would arrive in October 2015 and discover that mankind—or at least the Democratic Party—really has given up on progress. And Donald Trump really is Biff Tannen come to life. Maybe it wasn’t a movie; it was a documentary.
