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

[Lakhota]

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.

“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.

Not me.

I would, however, like to take the Democrats figuratively back to the 50s, by putting them in chain gangs and setting them to useful work on infrastructure.

"Fifty-one percent say that American culture and way of life have worsened since the 1950s"

And if that 51% all go out and vote, that means that Hillary loses.

In America things have got worse for black people, black males especially, pre-Civil Rights Bill they took pride in themselves, had self-respect and while things were Segregated, in their own communities were often comfortable and reasonably successful small businessmen.

What Leftist Americans did to Black America in itself is a crime.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Celebrating cultural transformations....now that's funny.

Their idea of a transformation is one where they say what should be and they'll be incredibly tolerant until you frigging disagree.

Then you call it a revolution.
A violent one.

 

[initforme]

The reality is a lot of dumb Americans believe that the outcome is going to make a huge difference. I pity you.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

I couldn't agree more, many things were better back then although I'm not old enough to say I experienced the 50's.

From time to time I go back to the place I grew up until the age of 7. I remember people walking the streets at night with their children. People on the porch during the summer having conversations. Sleeping at night with the door unlocked and open, and not many people had a gun back then.

Everybody knew each other because the only entertainment back then was a black and white television about the size of a computer screen today. You only got three channels. During the summer, they played reruns which nobody wanted to watch, so everybody spent their time outside.

Nearly every child had a stay-at-home mother. McDonald's was a special treat--not a weekly staple. Everyday was a home cooked meal day. If you wanted to see a new movie, you went out and watched one at a movie theater, or for a real treat, your parents took you to the Drive-In.

Because most families were one car families and mom stayed home, food and beverages were delivered to your home. We had the milk man, the juice man, the grocery store man, even the Charles Chip man.

Today, I sleep with a gun in my headboard. Few people know their neighbors because they stay inside of their home year round. kids are consumed with video games, the internet, and even their very own cell phone, so many sit around home and get fat. They are not as respectful of their elderly like when I was a child. Kids feared their elders like teachers and police, and had the utmost respect for them as they were raised to do. Today, kids attack teachers and police.

Women were women and men were men. We only had two sexualities back then, not the dozens we have today according to Face Book. Today weirdos wear dresses because they think they are women, and now (thanks to liberals) those weirdos are in your daughters bathrooms and showers. Women wore the dresses and they didn't have tattoos up and down their arms and legs.

The blacks have been used by the Leftists, Progressives, Liberals, they've been used for nearly 52 years as pawns to keep the Democrats in voters and what have the blacks got in return? Not a great deal.

 

[occupied]

Most of those people never lived during or were not old enough to clearly remember the 50s which means their impression of the decade comes almost entirely from old TV shows like Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver. Anyone who thinks America was better off then are right mostly because the industrial capacity of the world was still trying to recover from being bombed out of existence. Never will we see such an unnatural trade advantage again, the past is gone and there is no going back. It is also important to note that Union membership was at it's peak and there was a 90% tax bracket for the very rich.

Terror recruitment video has Trump excerpt - CNN.com

Donald Trump is indeed featured in a terrorist recruiting ad: DNC 2016 Fact Check

In January, the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab (which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda), released a 51-minute recruitment video. In the video, a man said, "Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching and the Ku Klux Klan. And tomorrow, it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps."

The video then went straight to a clip of Trump, calling for the halt in allowing Muslims into this country.
