    Damn you must be old if you remember that.

    Make America like it was when our great grandparents were young again! (Edit: Not the Jim Crow part)

    Because that was the last time we had a social democratic government that stood up to fascists.

      I remember it from reading about it in history books, something that everyone could benefit from doing in this day and age. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. (over, and over, and over again)

      Education and learning is the solution. We need to educate people. Everyone. It’s the only way that will ever actually lead out of this mess.

        That’s what I thought. I was more emphasizing that last time America tried to do something great is barely within living memory.

        The problem is history is continuously rewritten and education is sometimes indoctrination. It’s still the solution, but you can’t trust those in power to do it with integrity. We must always stay involved and informed.
