The Eisenhower 50s? The Reagan 80s? I ask because the answer--if there is one--may tie in to a new book that's out now.
Same old good ol' days. Not so good for women, gays, people of color. Drump may promise the better times for white workers from the 30s through the 70s, but his policies are Reaganomics-- which DESTROYED those good times.
If making America great again means blaming people of color, women and gays for the not-so-great America of today, then this is the America that will be ripe for the same revolution all over again by people of color, women and gays. And we just continue in the same vicious circle beating each other and the same dead horses.
If you want a prosperous America for the future, it must embrace and enact the 60s ideals and visions. Rights and opportunities for all groups, revitalizing our environment and climate, and making peace and love instead of unnecessary war. And it must Dump Drump and the counter-revolution of Reaganomics so that the people can rise above poverty and wage-slavery. It's all of a piece.
