Fallen Hamprince posted:if it were economic anxiety they'd idolize the 1970s, not the '50s. economic inequality started to climb from 1980 onward, the average family wasn't better off in real terms in the 50s than they were in the 70s. i wonder why this group of overwhelmingly male whites would pick the 50s, almost as though there was some kind of social movement after that decade that they disapprove of Everyone has their own understanding of the world. America in the 1950's is perhaps the golden age of prosperity, social unity and sheer national power as well as benefiting from being directly after WWII but before the social upheaval of the Vietnam and Civil rights era. As our society has decayed people have turned, at least in part, to whatever Trump represents in an attempt to capture something of the old glory. In doing so, they empower the very same elements which have undermined and corrupted that greatness. In short, turn to Cassius Dio: quote:For our history now descends from a kingdom of gold to one of iron and rust, as affairs did for the Romans of that day.
