re: #139 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
It’s worth noting that when one of my wingnut friends was asked when America was last great (pertaining to the “MAGA” theme of the Trump campaign), he responded, “1940’s or early 1950’s”. They truly do think of the racist, sexist, Christian-dominated post-WWII era as America’s peak.
Brown v Board of Education is the dividing line. US conservatism has been batshit insane ever since that moment, and it has grown much less able to conceal that insanity over time.
