      No that’s not their goal. That’s what they want the Rubes to think of. They want their marks to think of a cornball Leave it to Beaver fictional world. That’s not the age they want to take America back to again. They’re shooting for the Gilded Age. They want to go back to being able to lock you in a factory. They want your children working from dawn until dusk.

      Lol no. Take a look at what the corporate tax rate was in 1950. And the marginal tax rate for the highest bracket of individual earners. That shit will never come back as long as Republicans hold any power.

      They want neo-feudalism.

      More like taking us back to 2002 when homosexuality was illegal, the government had the Patriot Act to spy on its citizens, and the tax rates for the upper class were low.
