I have a feeling that far right populism was worse in 1930s

I've found a lot of parallels between now and 1910s-1930.

Thru genealogy I see how families and extended families lived together to afford living expenses. MultiFamily housing was common and jobs were within walking distance. The automobile dispersed jobs and families, taking all the above away.

The needs we have now are no longer possible to fill.

That's not as comforting as you imagined it to be.
Still, I'm only expliciting my reasons. I don't care about what my forefathers would have done in my situation.
