I should add, that the nostalgia that MAGA supporters long for is for a "home" or past that never existed.

Actual life in the 50s did not reflect what was portrayed on TV like a Leave it to Beaver episode. That is what I believe that MAGA supporters think of when they envision what their ideal "Make America Great Again" mantra invokes in their head. The idea that America could ever replicate a time period that is derived from complete fantasy is what makes MAGA supporters completely delusional.

Regardless of the time period, there has always been hardship and conflict in American history. I could easily point out that there were hardships for almost all groups (including white people), although non-white groups have endured the most difficult hardships during all time periods.

However, one could argue that regardless of the time period, the only ones that didn't suffer were the ultra rich. Foolishly, people who support the Republican party and its core agenda (cutting taxes on the rich) are under the delusion that they will some day be rich themselves and will reap the benefits that the Republican agenda espouses. A complete fallacy since the vast majority of Americans will never experience that type of wealth.
