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.
That all sounds about right
