That is my point. So much of the bad in the 50s and 60s was hidden, not talked about, and ignored, so those suffering suffered in silence or screamed at night. That is what appeals to the boomers who buy MAGA hats. Everything looked so perfect on the surface. That is what they want to return to. America #1 in the world, no trouble at home, everyone knowing their place and following the rules. Civil rights, broke that system, music broke that system, hippies broke that system, Vietnam broke that system, feminism broke that system. Half the boomers broke that system. The scab was pulled off and it still hurts for many boomers.
Looked perfect on the surface, and that's the draw? Oh bull**** bootstraps. Wages stagnant. Rentals increasing, the era of the gold watch dead. Yup, thats rasist. I mean, what they hell. My grandparents watched Queen for a Day. What a depressing ass show. My parents know damn well horsehocky sucked in the 1950s. They aren't Assclown fans, but that isn't the cause. That's just narrative about the outgroup talking. Clever in a way, because it's a horsehockyeating rhetorical approach that allows fecal breaths to actually blame the outgroup for desiring every single global ill that existed 70 years ago. It's really really freaking stupid.
