When up is down, and left is right, and black is white, and in is out, and rich is - well we don’t talk about that - it’s no wonder that people feel all twisted inside. It’s like everyone in a position of authority is trying to lie to them!? (probably b/c everyone in a position of authority is trying to lie to them)
Which causes people to turn towards religion. Which causes them to vote for Donald Trump. Which causes the downturn of society, which causes… dayum, can this ever end in anything but death?
Sadly, I think not. The golden era of 50s & 60s are gone, and they are NEVER coming back. Plan to have a roommate, I guess, for the rest of your life…
Absolutely, and I think it gets skewed even further by e.g. many TV shows and movies not even showing the presence of minorities at all. It’s a collective blanket that gets pulled over people’s heads.
But also, certain parts were legit better too (even as other parts were much worse), like there was an extremely brief period where the USA was not in one of the variety of forever wars, and supposedly a minimum wage really was a living wage somehow, at some point? (I’m not sure how many people got paid the *minimum" though, certainly fruit pickers would not be).

Even that “Golden Era” was only golden for some people.

Yeah I’d like to get to a time where the minimum wage actually supported a family. The top income tax rate being 70-90% was also a good thing.
