If you love a certain decade so much, let's use the 1950's for example, then you shouldn't be shouting it on Facebook or Twitter... those things didn't exist back then.

Just saying.

1. Immigration in the 1950s too

probably a lot simpler and easier.

2. There

There were plenty of immigrants around in the 50s.

3. True

A decade without immigration, let's think about it... People who want America "to go back" might not be able to use antibiotics or the germ theory of disease if they were to actually practice what they preach.

4. True

But no internet or smartphones either,people actually sat and conversed with each other.i loved the 50s.

5. A lot more racism and sexism also.

Life wasn’t as easy if you were a person of color, that’s for sure.

8. Oh yes. *We'll* stay in 2019, the MAGA-types, *They* should live life when they imagined America was

sooo 'great'.

If they live in a decade from before social media, they give it up.

6. WHITE CONSERVATURDS ARE NOT ASSIMILATING. nt

[JHB]

7. The always leave out those 91% tax rates when they harken back...

...don't they.

And financial regulation. And CEOs at least paying lip service to need beyond "shareholder value".

9. The Gilded Age, 1870-1900.

Immigration was a huge issue, women were chattel, and "prosperity and progress overlaid poverty, racism, corruption and financial instability."
