Almost nobody who voted for Trump was an adult during this timeframe. They were a teen or a child, if they were alive at all. People pining for the past always look at the past through rose-colored glasses. People don't think about the high taxes and a world whose manufacturing output was ravaged by war contributed to the American economic success story. People almost never talk about the marginalized living at that time. Those unpleasantries are filtered out by those rose-colored glasses! Populists like Trump certainly never mention the realities of the time. They leverage people's fantasies of a by-gone era. So no, they really don't want what they wish for, and by the time they've realized what they've wished for and what they've done, it'll be too late. |
