    Restore our country to what it was? Oh, you mean having black people in the back of the bus and LGBTQ people in the closet.

    Personally, if we’re going to revert anything to the 1950’s, I say bring back the 1950’s tax brackets. In 1955, anything a person earned over $400,000 ($4.4 million in today’s money) was taxed at 91%.

      When I grew up we bullied gay children until they killed themselves. I’ll take cancel culture going too far over that any day.
