It’s not a “WHEN”. It’s not a “YEAR”. It’s not a “DECADE”.
It’s about bringing back the “THINGS” that were great about America.
Various things at various times.
Like when kids played outside without fear. When kids rode bikes without farty helmets.
When you didn’t have to lock your doors.
When drugs didn’t infest our neighborhoods.
When just holding a girl’s hand was exciting enough.
When God and Jesus weren’t dirty words.
When nobody knew what LGBTQ was or cared.
When a person’s word was all the contract you needed.
When everyone knew right from wrong.
I’m sure you have many others I didn’t think of.
And yet even those times were needful of improvement.
It stands as testimony that the glorification of God is needed, and that not in some mere external way.
I've read this whole thread and while some people waxed nostalgic for certain ties, they all looked at those times through rose colored glasses and totally ignored the wars, "actions", strikes, inflation, depressions/recessions, etc. that were a very real part of those times.
The idiot Ron Howard, who because he was working throughout his childhood, got a lousy education. He's obviously also a stinking lefty, who couched that query in a way that it can't be answered without him and other lefties jumping all over it.
American was the world's powerhouse after WW II, mainly because our nation hadn't been bombed into rubble...our manufacturing facilities in tact, and the fact that we entered WW II at a much later date than the European nations had.
The same scenario was true after WW I; however, we were still being looked down upon, but almost ALL of Europe, as rubes and boobs.
OTOH...we, unlike most of the rest of the world, escaped the horrendous depression, thanks to Coolidge and his policies. We also escaped the crippling of strikes that hit England, as well as the disastrous punitive sanctions and monetary reparations that were heaped on Germany and her allies.
The 1950s through a lot of the early '60s, here, were filled with strikes, serious recessions, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the early days of Nam, stinking Commie infiltrations, the "FREE SPEECH MOVEMENT", that was led by Mario Savio, who was a forerunner of the damned Commies taking over the colleges and universities with SDS, etc.!
There's a whole LOT of factual history that I left out; however, even with all of the "bad" stuff I mentioned and the other bad stuff I left out...Making America Great Again has to do with taking the GOOD things from past times and bringing it back!
Thanks for posting an excellent list of great things about the past.
I remember when kids could easily get work to earn money, like selling newspapers (I did).
And when the Sunday comics pages of newspapers were abundant and non-political - and funny.
When fun places for kids were abundant and low cost, like roller rinks, ice skating, soda fountains, museums & zoos (yes places were free for kids), drive-in movies, etc.
When parking spots were abundant, and parking meters took only a few pennies.
