That's a good synopsis, but a bit overly generous to the last 1T.  A lot of scum crawled out of the pond in the 1950s, including Trump's original mouthpiece: Roy Cohn.  And let's agree that saccharine books and movies leave a bitter after taste unless they're done exceptionally well. It was a good time to be a kid, but I'm not so sure it was a great time to be an adult.

How about this: the joy of the 1T was fake, the joy of the 2T was ebullient, and the joy of the 3T was frenzied.

OK. The 1T was only fake in retrospect, but fake nonetheless.
