Half Of Americans Want To Take The Country Back To The 1950s

[occupied]

Ahhh the 50s! You could beat your wife when she got mouthy , drive drunk, watercannon blacks if they dared to be equal , no asians , no Hispanics . No gays. White men running everything .

Oh yeah, the republican dream!

And me barefoot and pregnant, getting you a sandwich and a beer! Why am I not thrilled?

Hey. When righties go to the doctor they can ask for the 50s treatment ! It's penicillin and that's it.

But today we get a bunch of drugs for ADHD.....and the kids in schools are zombies.

I have no interest in the 50's. But I don't kid myself into thinking that today is all that great.

Today is an awesome time to be alive if you can somehow quit being so bitter about everything. We have problems just like any era but now we finally have the tools to end many of the problems that have haunted mankind since the beginning.

The problems that have haunted mankind are lust for power, lust for pussy, and lying about it. Sound like any one you know?

Every single person on the face of the earth.

The 50's were probably an awesome time too.

Nobody has to be bitter to realize that today has all kinds of issues.

Don't believe me.....just look at the two turds we have running for POTUS.

The 50s were apparently a good time to be a kid, the people who lived through WWII came back and doted on their children to the point that the boomers are the most spoiled, self-entitled bunch of crybabies America ever produced. I was brought up in the 60s-70s and there was enough of that attitude still around that I too yearn for those simpler times but I am enough of an adult that I know it can never be the same again. Today's youth are courageous in ways we never were, so unlike many I have great hope, remember hope? Plenty of good things still around to have hope in abundance if you can quit watching cable news and look around the real world.

From a technology POV....a great time.

But, when kids can't get jobs.....not such a good time.

The problem of how to have an economy when even service industry jobs are being lost to automation is one I have no doubt they will figure out. Our pre-internet minds do not work in a way that lends itself to the problems of near exponential growth in technology, but theirs do and they are not scared at all.

It was no joke back then. I remember as a child in school, one of our teachers was so upset about it he used to relieve himself by telling us kids about the bomb. We were like his little psychiatrists. He scared the hell out of us by saying we would only have enough time for one prayer. There was no place you could hide.

Nuke war is good. It cleanses the face of the earth from the scum. Unfortunately, there is collateral damage involved.

Such is the reactionary right: fearful of change, diversity, and inclusion, hostile to expressions of individual liberty and dissent.

The fear, ignorance, and hate common to most conservatives is the bane of the American Nation – we can’t be rid of it too soon.

We never went to the doctor...we went to bed...Vaseline up the nose...sock around neck...plenty of water...maybe a cough drop....

Doctors made house calls. LBJ changed it so that the government and not the individual, was the one who paid the bill's

Donald Trump’s supporters are far more likely to be nostalgic.

Americans are close to evenly split on whether the U.S. has gotten better or worse in the past 60 years, according to a new survey from the nonprofit organization PRRI.

Fifty-one percent say that American culture and way of life have worsened since the 1950s, while 48 percent say they have changed for the better.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Seventy-two percent of likely Trump voters think things have changed for the worse, while about 70 person of Clinton voters think things have changed for the better.

“This election has become a referendum on competing visions of America’s future,” Robert P. Jones, PRRI’s CEO, said in a statement. “Donald Trump supporters are nostalgic for the 1950s, an era when white Christians in particular had more political and cultural power in the country, while Hillary Clinton supporters are leaning into ― and even celebrating ― the big cultural transformations the country has experienced over the last few decades.”

Democrats, millennials, black Americans and people who aren’t affiliated with any religion ― all groups that are largely backing Clinton ― are among the most likely to think that things have improved. Republicans, white evangelical Protestants and members of the white working class ― groups that have shown more support for Trump ― are the most likely to express nostalgia for the 1950s.

PRRI

“We argue over whether we’re divided by race, class, gender or religion,” columnist E.J. Dionne said Tuesday at a panel discussing the poll’s release. “What’s really scary about this poll is that we are divided by all of the following: class, race, gender and religion. We are deeply divided by these things.”

A similar survey question from Pew Research found that Trump and Clinton supporters are also divided over how life has changed specifically for “people like them” ― Clinton supporters say by a 40-point margin that it has gotten better over the past 50 years, but Trump supporters say by a 70-point margin that it’s gotten worse.

I miss a lot of things from the good ole days - and a lot of things I don't miss. It's no surprise that whites in the above chart perceive things as worse. I guess they are afraid - because they'll soon be a minority. Hispanics are slowly reclaiming their stolen birthright and rising up as a powerful political force. We Native Americans are just watching the show.

Another liar posting bullshit pictures. Maybe they'll put all you engines

back on the reservation.
