    I don’t think such a time ever existed, at least not for the groups currently taking the most heat.

    People have been getting publicly harassed for their race, gender, sexuality for as long as this country has existed. They could not “just bowl”. The opportunity never existed for them.

    It’s nostalgia for a unity that never existed.

      This. The more inclusive this country has slowly gotten. The more the people who were always included have been constantly gaslit to believe that their problems and difficulties. Stem from the newly included groups.
