Come on… other than the eugenics movement the 20’s sound decent. Lots of nice art deco a few years later….

Take that with the mid 50’s though the late 70’s and you’re talking about a solid half century. It’s not a bad run given our assumed trajectory ;-)

I was always kind looking forward to seeing the dystopian wasteland phase.

Oh yeah, that beautiful time when white people could lynch someone of color and get away with it, such nice times.

You seem to have forgotten the concentration camps FDR stuck 120,000 American citizens in between 1942 and 1946
