As a queer person (agender) with a conservative dad, I don’t get why he says he wants to go back to the 1950s. What was so special back then besides his reasoning that times were simpler? I feel like it would be harder for me then as a queer person.

Did I say anywhere that the US is great ?
I’m central European and always hated their mentality and imperialism. You seem to equate US with any form of economy with some form of capitalism, i.e. markets and prices as a mechanism.
Europe is also far from innocent from further back, but AFAIK Europe did not coup or invade anyone recently and we have our own flavor of political system, social democracy or call it however you like, which worked pretty well until everything began to shift into US-style neoliberalism/fascism in the last 20 years or so.
I’m as happy to see the US destroy themselves and lose influence right now as you probably are, but you are right, I have been living in a privileged environment in any case.
