> These same assholes want to go back to the 50s because it was very good for white male americans
I really want to know when this was because all the men (white or not) who worked the mills and the mines in my memory were effectively functional alcoholics because life sucked so much.
Its anemoia - nostalgia for a time you didn't live through.
They don't want the actual 50s, they want an illusion of what they saw on TV shows depicting white, wealthy, suburbia.
