That was followed by, arguably, the golden age of America. We built the interstate system, dramtically increased the standard of living, became the dominant worlds superpower (at the time considered a tie with USSR but now we know they were weaker) and surpassed the Soviet space program.
living standards continued to rise then peak in 1980. Not long afterwards Reagan made his greatest mistake and passed the first amnesty. It’s been dropping more or less since.
Diversity is a great lie of the left. It’s what the USA had in common that made us special. Immigration worked because it was controlled and merit based.
Ohh AND I should add we STILL got the yards mowed, beds made, tables served and crops picked.
You know..all those jobs “Americans cant and won’t do”.
Standard of living when 1 in 6 was going hungry were not superior.
Living space, access to calories and access to state of the art medical care is standard of living. (if further explanation is necessary, apply the conclusion)
Conformity and uniformity inhibit creativity, imagination and curiosity and the subsequent intelligence which is commonly referred to as American exceptionalism.
Communists, collectivists, cultists, conformists are all like birds of feather.
The leftists lie every time they communicate. Why otherwise well intended folks regurgitate these lies is the mystery.
If the conclusion is XYZ does it better or hate America, one can bank coin on the underlying premise being a lie almost every time.
