Micheal Moore did a video about this. He asked MAGoos of different ages when exactly did America's decline start. People born in the 1930's claimed America lost its way in the 1950's. People born in the 1940's thought it was in the 1960's. People born in the 1960's thought it was the 1980's.

Everyone of them thought that everything was fine until they reached adulthood...

I bet you'd get a similar answer from Millenials

'92 here and everything was pretty good until my late 20's/early 30's.
Everything should have been great; my career was taking off, I'd just started a family, we were looking at buying our first house... And then everything went to shit. Inflation, wage stagnation, house prices tripling in my area. Fuck boomers, fuck billionaires, fuck landlords and fuck my government for letting this happen.

As a millennial everything went to shit the day I was born.

My personal take is that there were three times the US took a giant wrong turn.

LBJ taking Vietnam from a small war to a massive one. He couldn't win, and it opened the door for Nixon to come in.

Reagan elected.

War on Terror.

Trump is the result of those three...

So when do you see that the hammer dropped?

Nah man, Regan cut the brake lines years before I was born.

I’m finding a sick sort of comfort in reading about the bush administration and how horrible I didn’t realize it was. A guy named scooter revealed a CIA asset out of spite because her husband disagreed with the Iraq War. What a shitshow.
