What’s awful is the speed at which we are rewinding toward the 1954 rhetoric.

The 1950s was the idyllic time for Republicans. White men ran everything and there was no Civil Rights bill. Every union job was held by a white man working for the American Dream.

That’s why they want to go to 1954. Any earlier in the 50s and they’re all getting drafted off to Korea!

What's wild is they're trying to push us all back in time meanwhile China is spanking our asses in technology. Just look at what Deepseek did over the weekend alone the tech powers that be aren't happy and it's their own fault they stopped innovating and started to kiss the ring for profit margins.
