People will look back on this period and be amazed that giving out free crack pipes was actually a thing the US government did.


Given that the government was selling crack in the 90's I don't think an observer from the future would seize on this era in particular for that sort of thing. It's just a piece of glass.


They will absolutely study the use of sound bites/memes like this one in political discussions though.

The "but that's definitely untrue", "yeah, ok, but ... you know what I mean, right?" type comments build a very interesting context for these weird talking point memes.
