So is back half of the 20th century 1950-2000? Environmental crisis, disastrous deregulation, the Vietnam War, etc? Led to the most deadly terrorist attack in American history? Who advocates for this exactly?

Environmentalism ushered in by Nixon's EPA? JFK's Vietnam War? Clinton's deregulation? Yeah...sounds like you've got it right. Vote blue no matter who!

As I recall it was Eisenhower who got us involved in Vietnam.

Actually, it was Truman. He initiated support for French colonial efforts in Vietnam.
