Yes he is a joke. The Nobel Prize folks have severely damaged any credibility they once had by awarding prizes to idiots like Gore, Obama, Carter and Krugman.

I’m not going to read anything by Krugman, but if he is referring to Plessy v. Ferguson (ironic case name, huh?), which established “separate but equal” as constitutional, then it was in force until 1954, when Republican judges led the way to getting rid of it, during a Republican administration. Anyone wanting to go back to that would want to go back to 1954. Of course, the only ones who EVER wanted separate but equal were Democrats. No Republicans then or now supported it.

Had he said “1984” (the year, not the book), I might not disagree. I’d love to return to 1984. I had a great time.

Meanwhile, the Democrats want to push us to 1958 - Russia, 1958.

How about 1789, constitutionally speaking?

I’ll take 1775 when the Revolution was nigh.

“The GOP Wants to Pull Us Back to 1894”

The good things about 1894 are:

No one talked nonsense about global warming.
Rap music hadn’t been invented yet.
No Federal income tax.

The Democrats, however, would like to see us go back to 1854.
Since they are the party of slavery and the party that was strongly against the Civil Rights bill....
