Clearly the poll winner by a landslide is the 1950s.
And that's because the buying power of the dollar and its associated American citizen middle class was at its largest then.
Today, scores of millions of Americans are un- or under- employed, suffering economically, our dollar has far less purchasing power, our middle class has shrunk significantly .. and this is true for all types of Americans, no matter their position on the comparatively irrelevant social issues of abortion, drugs, gender, guns, race, religion, sexual orientation and the like.
It's the economy, the
individual American's personal economy .. and that's precisely why you have so many Donald and Bernie supporters, people on all sides of the social issues but who agree on one foundational thing: they're really hurting economically and we need solutions to the fundamental systemic causative problems.
Again, it's all here in the History section of the Problem, from the Powerful American Political Alliance, the only assemblage of American citizens that will truly hold either Trump or Clinton et al to the task of indeed making America great again:
The Problem.
No matter who gets elected President, Governor, Senator, Representative, etc., unless we the people are constantly on them after they're elected, their money-power machine will compel them to do the same destructive things that have made our situation so bad.
We must be vocal in getting these problems solved, threatening impeachment and voting out of office, or things will just continue to get worse.
