The Golden Age in most people’s minds didn’t actually begin until the war ended although reforms took place throughout the 1930s. This time around we have yet to find a leader with the “I welcome their hatred” attitude toward today’s corporate chieftains although Bernie Sanders may have come close. Had Obama been able to follow through on some of his campaign rhetoric me might have come close to being the new FDR.
I sense that political leaders of all stripes are not seeing the central situations clearly. Trump in retrospect may have been wearing rose-colored glasses when he created the slogan “Make America Great Again”. On the surface at least few are erring on the side of giving him the benefit of the doubt. And yet he still may be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat because so many don’t feel that Biden is clear-headed enough for the Presidency.
Interactions with others may feel confusing because everything seems so muddled, much more so than the so-called malaise of the Carter years. We have a much worse social malaise today although few choose to call it that. It is as if the top 10 percent and the lower 90 are speaking a different language.
