"...It’s about a huge cohort of old people who are scared and resentful that privileges they once took for granted..." Like being drafted into Foreign Wars and having to fight for one's country and family?
1962
1964 when the Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act and most Americans understood that leftwing, anti-Christian ideas were bad ideas.
When words were used in a manner matching their definitions in the dictionary instead of being twisted beyond recognition to meet the liberal agenda.
1792.
1959. Ya all were blessed with me.
It also depends on what one means by it. I took it to mean, and many millions of other Americans took it to mean, back to a time when we had lots of good paying middle class jobs....before social program exploded, jobs were outsourced, illegal immigrants flooded in and before political correctness took hold.
OF COURSE the standard Leftist tactic will be to scream “racism!” if you point to any previous time because screaming “racism!” is all they know how to do. Its their answer to every question and their explanation for any opposition to their socialist policies.
Before Liberals came out from under their rocks.
Sadly except for the last two years of the 80's it is all history for me.
This is the first time I am getting to experience America being truly great.
It’s about a huge group of young people that think they are owed something for nothing.
It’s always been great - sometimes greater than other times (Carter,0bama, Johnson).
Privileges? What a buffoon.
Maybe it was when Ron Howard was enriching himself.
The obvious answer is the late 18th century when Americans cast off the shackles of colonialism, defeated the greatest power on the planet, and crafted the US Constitution.
I believe a moment that will challenge this for greatest is upon us. Right now, American Patriots are taking a stand against the first attack on our country, reversing two centuries of decay, and assuring the world that the American people are worthy of our nation’s heritage.
Before all the hippies started to get into positions of power.
Like maybe 1964 or so.
1969 - the Mets won the World Series and Americans walked on the moon.
Curious question coming from a guy who made his name starring in a show rooted in 50’s nostalgia titled, “Happy Days.”
Pre-Great Society
The Great Society (also known as the War on Poverty) is a set of programs instituted by President Lyndon B. Johnson and its associated legislation passed by Congress in an effort to combat poverty. It was criticized extensively by conservatives because it expanded the welfare system and increased citizen dependency on the government. (conservapedia)
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Does that work for you Dopey?
Dear Mr. Howard,
Now. While we know what President Trump means, a time when we assumed we lived by our Constitution, some time in his lifetime, we also know we didn’t. We were fooled.
So you know your question is super clever, because no matter what year or era people name, you can find something negative to share about it. Cute, aren’t you?
But we want to make America Constitutional for real.
Now is a good time.
Now, we finally understand that whole industries hide their sick power over people. No matter how important a person in said Industry was, he hid his colleagues’ evil deeds.
Maybe these powerful people had gone through it themselves and understood child rape to be a rite of passage. But only now can we finally make America great for real, by refusing to Stand By Rapists, whoops, sorry there, any longer.
