I think the golden age was long before then but the 80’s and the 90’s were probably the last “normal times” I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. The basic American values were being eroded in pop culture but as a kid I didn’t see it and we still had mostly traditional American values and upbringings. More the end of America as it was traditionally known than the golden age of America.

When I think about how Bill Clinton could almost be considered a typical RINO Republican in today’s political environment it speaks volumes as to far we’ve fallen.
