White America is stuck in the 50s.

Trump is rolling everything back to the decade when the world still had blinders. We could do just about anything in any country back then because people remembered us as that great country that showed up during World War II when our allies needed us the most.

Now, what are we? Where is Trump taking us? Does he really think he can roll back time to create a replica of America as fake as the mementos you can purchase at Hobby Lobby?

Do you all realize that we have to sit and wait until his insecure, reactionary behavior causes a crisis so big that the seriousness of our situation crosses party lines?
