The framework for the New Deal was built by Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson finished it with the Great Society. For about 30 years the middle class in the postwar years grew faster and richer than any middle class in the history of the world.
We were hot. Trump likes to claim we are today, but the reality is the country is divided and embroiled in cultural wars that are spreading out worldwide like a plague.
Oh, by the way... the economy is collapsing under the grift coming from Trump's lackeys and corporations have resumed the power they once had 120 years ago.
The age of Trump has been a renaissance for the wealthy and connected in Washington D.C.
When Trump visited the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota for the grand opening, he made a series of surreal moments treating an AI generated projection of Roosevelt like a real-life encounter with the former president.
His handlers just smiled and tried to pretend he wasn't acting crazy.
Trump profusely praised Roosevelt for his bravery and toughness saying he lived "a freakin' wild life." I can't help thinking what Roosevelt would have thought about Trump if he met him. I suspect he would have beaten the bone spurs off of Donny and called him a coward and a traitor.
Some things never change.
As it Stands, middle class Americans are still fighting for their rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
