[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm always suprized some liberals think insulting another person's rose-colored dream is a winning tact. effectively you are pointing out that life is horrible now and always was horrible.  why do you think this vision will move anybody in a useful direction? why not acknowledge that there were some good things for some people in the past? wouldn't that be more balanced, more honest,

"Liberals" insult other people's rose-colored dream?  The MAGA creed that they want to go back to the past is pooping all over many "liberals" rose-colored dream of equal treatment and respect for all people.  How about that shite?

This whole post goes to show that there is good and bad in every time.  For every thing you find from the past that was positive, we can find a dark underbelly or point out a group for which that time was horrible.  That is NOT saying everything is horrible all the time.  It is pointing out an unfortunate fact of human existence, that there is always a mix of good and bad.  That there are always upsides and downsides to every thing.  And whenever humans try to make things better, there are always some bad actors who try to take advantage and ruin it for everyone else for their own benefit.

The MAGA dream of "make America great again" is truly just an imaginary cherry-picking of things to benefit mainly white Americans or address white male grievances that they cannot say and do whatever they want without consequence.  It's not really about making America ideal.  So stop trying to pretend it's anything else.[/quote]

Or it's a time when the middle class was strong.

You all are so obsessed about social equality that you ignore the real economic problems that are the result of giving away our economy and self sufficiency.

the middle class was strong in the 1950's and 60's when unions were strong and the marginal tax rates for the top 20% was over 50%.
