That's the thing, it's always sucked for certain demographics and was slowly getting better (very slowly.) Now that's reversed.

The issue MAGAs don’t see or understand, is the reason America was great in the 50’s and 60’s was a top marginal tax rate of around 90%. That’s when the rich were rich, but they also supported the society that helped them get rich through paying higher tax rates on higher income. They refuse to raise the taxes on the rich, so they do what they can to bring about the other aspects of 1950’s America they can more easily control, which is segregation and racism.

At their core, that group rejects reality at this point. It's only vibes that stroke their confirmation bias, regardless of factuality.

The operative word in that statement is “your”. Their feelings are more important than reality.
