There is nothing that Americans want more than to live in the past.
It doesn't matter that "the past" is a rose-goggle tinted dream that's been mostly made up by their own imperfect memory; they want to go back, to live in a world that never existed at all.
We can't. We live in a Covid world, a climate change world, a world ruled by a craven few sociopaths with money. Those are today's problems.
We can't go back, only forward, and only our own hands can take us there.
