I remember morals. And the middle class. There wasn’t any segregation or marriage bans.Remember when the nation had 'morals'.....and segregation. Remember the 'middle class'......and interracial marriage bans?
Remember when there weren't any pesky sexual harassment laws and you could grab your secretary by the pussy?
Remember the lynchings, 'white only' water fountains, the wild disparities of college education levels between white men and everyone else?
Remember redlining to keep black folks out of white neighborhoods?
Remember when you could be arrested for being gay? When homosexuality was criminalized?
Remember when we didn't have clean water and air acts, and the pollution was *so* much worse?
Perhaps this is what y'all mean by 'great' when you say MAGA? Because it *really* depended on who you were if it was 'great' or not.
I remember sexual assault was a crime. And I also remember when telling a girl she looked pretty or asking her out wasn’t sexual assault or simply looking at her wasn’t a crime.
White only anything was long gone by then. You’re confusing generations. Nobody was being lynched. Getting into college was based on merit, not skin color or sex organs like it is now. You also had to pay for it. Crazy concept I’m sure.
Nobody was kept out of a neighborhood because of skin color. Pay the down payment, qualify for the loan, move in. Pretty simple.
Nobody was arrested for being gay. They were made fun of. And that wasn’t a crime either. If you can’t make jokes about the guy sucking dicks why have comedy at all.
I remember clean water, the air got better with technology. Gas mileage and efficiency have been a thing since the model T. Do you remember pollution from everyone having wood fireplaces? You don’t because technology advanced.
What made America Great was the absence of people like you.
