For those Americans who want the 50s back, they need to know that the wealthy paid 92 percent in taxes, and that our grandparents belonged to labor unions.
Oh, and IKE was a democratic socialist in practice.
Funny how the folks crying to get that shit back weren't there to live through it.
Some day, some idiot will look back at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and say, "Man! That was living!" Being older, you will be able to look them in the eye and tell them how full of shit they are.
They did have really good style too, at least in my opinion. The cars looked cool, so did some the architecture and frankly swank outfits. Maybe I'm romanticizing a bit though.
It's definitely not the financial side of the 1950's that they want. I guess we're just done with the quiet part. They just blatantly want white male supremacy.
When I was a thirteen year old boy, I had a savings and checking account at a local bank. When laws changed and it became legal for women to have their own checking accounts, I helped my grandmother go to the bank and set her accounts up. That was in the 1980s! The past sucked!
he not a child he is a cumshot that want chaos and a good grift watch him on his show do not know what he wants more chaos or$ MORE and that scary but he is also the reason for the whole pizza gate thing in wash. just churning up conspiricy and chaos
Only sexist, racist white men want the 50’s back. They know they’ll eventually be outnumbered, and this thrashing around in their dying throes is as harmful to us as it is pathetic to watch.
My mom always said that every one who wants to go back to the 50's has to remember that the radical 60's was a result of those restrictive years. All of these MAGA republicans better be ready. Of course she was a young woman at the time and I think she was a strong participant in the 60's.
Yes. There were a lot of problems in the 60s, but also some cool stuff, like the Beatles, Civil Rights and the Antiwar Movement and positive cultural change, and there was this cool show on TV, I think it was called Star Trek.
Amen. The rewards of the '60s and into the '70s, were hard fought, to the music and words of a "million" great songs, from a "thousand or more" great voices and lyricists/poets.
We will dust off those times. We shall fight and rise again. I didn't think I'd be protesting at 70.
Hell I'm an 80's kid I don't want to go back then. I would have to learn how to actually wear a skirt or dress FUCK THAT SHIT I like my jeans, and not having to wear makeup.
What a Dumb Posor™ [sic]. In the 50s the US firmly stood with their Allies instead of stabbing them cowardly in the back and selling them to Moscow and Peking. And that's just for historical starters why what THEY actually want is 1930s NaZi Germany. 😛
In the 60s Girls could not wear pants to school, in winter. The city I lived in had Black areas and White areas. Women got paid 1/2 of what men got paid. There was a lot of social change. I thought we were past all that, but Donald Trump wants to turn back the clock. It was only good for White men.
The 60's were bad too. People of color still being lynched, sent to prison and death just for not being white. People fighting for the right to exist. Nah, I want to fight to stop all this crap, and move forward. Just erase trumps and his kult/klan.
It doesn't matter how many times I tell Conservatives that the economy was only strong in the 50's because we had no competition. All the other major economies were bombed to shit.
For those of us lucky enough to be around in. the 60s it was the best time to be alive. Everything was great. The best music in the world, complete freedom, we went out every night and partied without a care in the world. Wonderful times.
The assassinations (2 Kennedys & MLK) and the Vietnam war weren't so cool though. I was in high school & college. My first boyfriend was killed in Vietnam. Very sad family
I suppose that, as an Englishman, I have a very different perspective. I was 16 years old at the end of the decade. I loved the 60s. Each decade has got incrementally worse since. I feel for kids today.
I'll take the 60's and early 70's any day! There was lots of hope then, lots of resistance, lots of questioning authority. Where are the modern-day hippies?
"Repeal the sixties"?? Now there's some MAGA thinking at its finest. Pretty soon Donnie Dumb-Dumb might come out with an executive order doing just that.
That eejit obviously did not live through either decade. I did. The 50s were grim and our first taste of austerity with plenty of faux religion. The 60s was like a splash of colour as our generation took hold of life and told the prudes to shove it. I’m not going back now. My parents beat the Nazis.
Jack completely missed it by a mile. Rosa Parks started the resistance by not moving to the back of the bus. I'm wondering where's the resistance energy? No one counterprotesting MAGA supremacists anymore? No one defending our vulnerable communities? Where's the loud?
Parts of the 60's. There were bloody battles for civil rights, LGBTQ wasn't remotely legal, abortion illegal, birth control only legal if you were married, same with credit cards for women...but sure, music and the beginnings of winning what we're going to have to fight for all over again. Cool.
The 50’s : a time when middle class white women suffered from housewife syndrome because they were not fulfilled so were plied with barbiturates to keep’em quiet
Repeal to 80's.... that is when Reagan sold war weapons to Iran...so GOP are fine withn traitors. Oh... Reagan also put corporations on their golden pedestals. Reagan decimated thr working class and families .
Yup. All under the guidance of Milton Friedman. This the downfall of America began, & has yet to abate. I fear that Gilead is on the horizon. Opus Dei & Project 2025 are well underway... Tragic. G. Washington would weep. T. Jefferson would scream.
I want to be more forward, in the 60's I still didn't have all that many rights, I still couldn't have my own bank account or do much without male permission.
1960s were not cool. There were some cool things but Vietnam war, and assassinations and race riots and murdered children in the south, etc made the '60s suck. Some funny movies, good tunes, and clean LSD did not make the '60s cool.
They are cool because Segregation was the law. You have no idea how bad it was for Black people. They were called Negros or just Nigers. That is what they want back.
Reading between the lines and knowing what disgusting beliefs he harbors between his ears, he's saying we have to renegotiate and repeal the civil rights laws enacted in the 60's.
I don't want to go back at all. I was born in 1955. I remember the '60s as a time of murder and mayhem and civil unrest. In the 70s I was given more rights as a woman but they didn't become possible in the South until the 80s. Nope. I am not longing to go back at all.
Yeah, I am your age. I remember traveling in the early 60s and seeing White's Only signs. Then Kennedy got shot, the Vietnam War, riots, MLK shot, JFK shot, more Vietnam. Best music ever because of the above. People remember the music but a lot of riots, war and assassinations made the music.
I had to correct my kids misinterpretations of the music. We went on vacation to DC the summer after Kennedy was killed. I saw his grave when it was still mostly dirt and surrounded by a white picket fence and armed soldiers. Took my kids years later to see the beauty today.
I remember the fbi searching for anti-war people. I remember the multiple assassinations,MLK, two Kennedys. The intense racism, the lynchings.
Sure it brought change but the cost was devastating.
And that's it. Those ACTUALLY were good things. The Marginal tax rate built America. Reagan started the destruction of your nation, Trump will bring back the 50's, the 1750's that is.
Civil Rights Act of 1964
Voting Rights Act of 1965
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) of 1974
Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978
American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978
...
There are more, but yeah. Not even the 60s.
LGBTQ+ laws are even more recent.
I forgot about Racism Watchdog.. Clearly he’s got his hands full on that other hellhole but I hope he’ll eventually create an account here on BlueSky..
If you liked the Dark Ages you have to repeal the Enlightenment. We certainly need more stoning in government. No position too extreme, you can't satirize these assholes.
None of it is coming back. America has lived its best days, and from this point forward, it will be a steady, slow decline. Not educating your population and shifting all power and wealth to the top will do this. Nobody in China needs two or three jobs to make a living—new world order.
You measure the wealth of any country accurately, not by how good the ones on top are doing but by how well those on the bottom are fair. The richer some are, the poorer others must be, or how do you think this works?
The first time Civilians didn't have access to Military Grade Weapons
The American civil war had more dead Americans than the 1st and 2nd World War combined..
Americans can't afford another Civil War.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Project 2025 has existed for such a long time. Civil War may have happened, but those assholes just went into hiding. They never disappeared. They need a reminder that they lost the first time.
This is their last-ditch effort. Our biggest hurdle is that we no longer produce as many well-educated individuals as other countries. Greed for power has led to a systematic dumbing down of our population, and this is a generational problem. The empire declines.
Hmm i remember the 60s with gay raids by police, blacks had limited rights where they could live and work, latino farm workers treated like slaves, corporations polluting air land and sea. Vietnam war, jfk, rfk, mlk, malcom murdered
Look I know this guy is romanticizing the "good ole days" that weren't all that good in reality (I was there). Does he know time travel is not actually real? Why doesn't he do some "Cosplay" to satisfy his craving instead of subjecting us all to his imagination?
In the 1950s, you know the time when America was great, the effective tax rate was 42 to 45 percent for the top 1 percent. Today it is 26 to 28 percent. The smart billionaires are the ones who stfu with most people never hearing of them.
Then say goodbye to, The Beatles, Hendrix, Zepplin, The Who, The Beach Boys, Cream, The Stones, The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Credence, The Band... etc.
I was a little girl in the 60's. Obviously that time period, and the discussions my family had about difficult topics while I was a little girl, shaped my current leanings. Heh, we got to see Star Trek: TOS in its first run, which sparked many of those discussions!
Spoiler Alert: You cannot go "back in time" and do things like make the 60's not happen. You can't even go back to the day before yesterday and NOT make a stupid phone call threatening Denmark's P.M. Past is past. Sorry, I don't make the rules. https://trueman-triola.stories.email/

The 60's were cool somewhat. The 70's also. I saw a lot of Grateful Dead shows in the 1970's. I'd like my old 1965 VW bus back now that I really know how to adjust the carb. Truth is the past mostly sucked. Medicine is so much better today.
Oh, yeah. Weed is better now and I can grow up to 6 plants in my backyard, not that the local police ever do inventory. I've seen local cops buying at the dispensaries.
Women couldn’t have credit cards. Schools were segregated in a large portion of the country. A portion was illegal. JFK, RFK, and MLK were all assassinated. The 60s sucked!
The 60s had their moments, for sure. They also had institutionalized racism, misogyny, and false patriotism -- the kind that involves hating other countries rather than loving your own.
Personally I wouldn’t mind going back to the cowboy’s day’s and convening a Kangaroo Court in D.C. and hanging all the RAPIST, ADULTERER’S & POS’S and Child Molester’s. That would remove all the member’s of MAGA from D.C.

60s: space race
70s: a renewed love affair with quality TV

90s: delicious, silly hope

Everything else sucked...
(Except for the blues musicians)
My favorite car, over 100 MPH the rear end started to lift. But it really looked cool.
I don’t have any idea why he has an audience
Also, not sure they want everything about the 50s. Especially the tax rates.
Greatest economy of my life. Low unemployment, ppl were nice & not addicted to politics.
In 2025, I don't see anything cool.
We will dust off those times. We shall fight and rise again. I didn't think I'd be protesting at 70.
People wore shirts that said better DEAD than RED.
WTF happened to us?
MAGA wants to legalize bullying.
Good music!
Oh yeah, straight white men.
Well, some people want that, but they’re weird.
Sure it brought change but the cost was devastating.
How do you think we ended up with the ‘60s in the first place?!!
As always, fuck Ronald Reagan.
Also, FUCK REGAN, anti-gun piece of shit he was.

You gotta return to the marginal tax rates of the 40s
Really?
Okay.
Then say goodbye to, The Beatles, Hendrix, Zepplin, The Who, The Beach Boys, Cream, The Stones, The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Credence, The Band... etc.
Yes! Bring back 90% Marginal Income Tax Rates...
Oh wait Conservatives always just mean bring back the Racism

1950’s back they want the 1850’s back and all that entails!
