The main problem of the 1950s was Paranoia

 Trump reminds me of the paranoia of the 1950s. This is how people often were then.

Here is a bumper sticker from the 1950s "Better Dead than Red"

But, under Trump it seems like it changed to "Better Red than Dead" which is very strange especially if you knew what Republicans were like in the 1950s. I was raised in a libertarian Republican Family so I understand something about this. However, then I went to college and met people from every culture and realized just how miopic this paranoid Conservative Republican thinking actually was. So, I became a moderate, and independent instead.

So, I see the good and bad of all these points of view, both paranoid and liberal.

The problem becomes that though 1950s Republicans were too paranoid to prevent a nuclear war from happening eventually, there is a problem of becoming too liberal because it isn't practical for human survival either.

So, the problem becomes finding the right balance of all these things so our democracy in a Republic can actually survive whatever comes next.

The president that Biden most reminds me of is Franklin Delano Roosevelt because this is a similar era caused this time by coronavirus.

Though Trump helped create MRNA vaccines through Moderna which helped a lot, he didn't stop the deaths and in fact if you look at his policies he encouraged the deaths by his inactions regarding having people wear masks.

Then Biden invoked the war powers act to get more vaccines in the pipeline and this might actually work to get the U.S. back to work and functioning more normally.

However, I think you have to expect the rest of the world might just be a complete clusterf--- on many different levels for years to come over this whole coronavirus thing.

The only really functional big nations might be the U.S. and European Union and to some degree China.

The rest of the world might be a complete mess, especially places like Brazil the way it is presently going.

However, if you actually go back to the 1940s which caused the 1950s paranoia was necessary to win world War II and to defeat Hitler and Tojo. So, I suppose this is another way to look at it.

But, the Baby boomers became the hope of the future as children who hadn't seen world War II because they mostly were't born yet and so literally became the hope of the future for those harmed by actually seeing what World War II had done to the world first hand.

Literally everyone who went through World War II had serious PTSD from that experience just like everyone who went through 9-11 or having Trump as a president has PTSD from that too.

So, everyone is still a little off from that and even more off from Coronavirus PTSD now worldwide too.

It's important to realize that the last year or so has completely changed the whole world away from what it was before.
