I know awful Jimmy Carter was elected that year, but 1976 is that sweet spot of the greatest time in this country. Right before we got all PC starting at the end of the 70s. After the war and immigration of schools.
You could actually discipline a kid in school and not be sued. You could have some friendly hazing in high school-college and parents wouldn't freak out.
No trophies being handed out for last place. So much more individual freedom.
It is impossible to recapture that time. Things have changed so much. Because YOU would like to go back to 1976, how does that make Trump the greatest? Because he promised time travel?

It's another example of Trump being the greatest
Yeah, women and minorities knew their place, right? Because 1976 was a good time for both of those groups.
But I have to hand it to you, you don't want to go all the way back to the 1950's with Wally and the Beav'.

Thanks for the scoop Grasshopper! I just sent an email to the Washington Post and the New York Times letting them know that President Donald Trump is keeping the secrets of time travel from us. I used you as the source, not that they'll contact you or anything before running the story. Look for it on the front page tomorrow!
1976 was far from a sweet-spot for this nation's cities. Due to decades of disinvestment and suburbanization (mostly brought on due to the federal government's policies), our cities were declining rapidly at that time. I don't think I'd want to go back to a time where this nation was more concerned about pushing highways through established urban neighborhoods than it was for its cities. Suburbanization and the widespread usage of auto-oriented planning are two of the worst things to ever happen to this nation.
I will give it to you though: several of my favorite songs came out before or shortly after 1976! Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John came out in 1975, and Heart of Glass by Blondie came out in 1978.

Just a different birth year than the Leave it to Beaver group. Both are nostalgic for a time when minorities could be readily discriminated against, women could be treated like objects, and white men ruled everything.
The music might be different but the mentality is exactly the same.
