I've figured out what specific period America was "great (again)" that Drumpf hooked zombies with
Ever since Drumpf inflicted himself on the national psyche with the MAGA marketing slogan, somebody or other has asked occasionally what specific period he was referring to during which the greatness was being referred to.
Forget about NATO, the Marshall Plan, the New Deal, Fair Deal, Great Society. That's not what the Drumpf zombies care about, that he tapped into.
What they wanted was the "simpler" things: Basically when they were carefree and not regulated or reminded of the finite resources we live with and are exhausting:: When commodes blasted full flushing, light bulbs incandescent, shower heads blasted water pressure, smoking was classy, no seat belts meant freedom, open cans while driving, and no P.C.isms, burning fuel without a thought or care.
*** And WHEN was that? ---- The answer has one word: ********CHILDHOOD*******
Yes, THAT is when America was great (for them), when they were the center of their parents' universe with no thoughts.
It's not a specific historical period. It's a moveable childhood period depending upon the generation of the Deplorables audience being pandered to.
*** The ambiguity is the key for a snake oil flim flammer in marketing like Drumpf, vague enough for the suckers to plug in whatever they think it means.
