I was a child in 1976 so, yeah, it's easy for me to look back on that time period fondly because I was sheltered from most everything. 1976 was GREAT for me. However, I remember waiting in lines for gas with my parents and they also bought their first home with something like a 12% interest rate.
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's another example of Trump being the greatest
Is this Trump-praise a joke?
In 1976, women were barely able to get anywhere in the work world - same with blacks and obviously foreign people. Gays and other people of different sexual orientations were still in the closet, as were people of any nonstandard religion. The only people with true "individual freedom" were straight, white, Christian males - funny how those are the only people who support Trump and what he represents.
But you're saying it's OK to dehumanize millions of Americans and force them into being second class citizens with few prospects and constant fear of their religion or sexuality being revealed just so we can go back to killing people in college hazing rituals without "people freaking out?"
Posts like the OP's are a terrifying look into what really matters in the mind of Trump supporters.

In the 70s no it wasn't. You might not have noticed it though since you weren't the one experiencing it almost like you had some kind of white privilege.
