As a side-thought before bed (and after far too much editing of material about sentient dinosaurs), it occurs to me that creating an image of a black politician losing to the most famous and widely respected Republican President is likely not an accident caused by poor history skills, but a deliberate political act based on the (likely correct) assumption that most viewers won't know that it's a complete fabrication. it seems far too useful and image to be an accident.
