I figure there couldn’t be a better time to be around!
Who do you think won WWII? I thought you’d be the last person to say the United States won.
If I had a time machine, I’d go back to 1950’s America.
And his Vice-President ended the Vietnam War.

“The man who actually WON World War 2 became president.”
I was but a pre-teen in that era and recall much of it. It was a very simple non-stressful era where things went of quite smooth. I do recall on the political front was a strong anti-communist trend nation wide.
And yes, Ike was President. I recall a school classmate who made the following remark: “They are making Eisenhower dolls, you wind them up and they do absolutely nothing”. He was obviously parroting a comment from his democrat dad.
The point to be made, is if everything is going smooth, what is there to do with regards to making new laws? Our national legislature does not have to be in the perpetual law making business that expands our government. Ike was a believer in small govt and he warned us of the military industrial complex. I’d say since he did little to nothing makes him a great President. Compared to Carter, where everything he did was wrong, and Ike was a super prez.
Now we need a president that will undo decades worth of leftism.
I was 4 when Eisenhower was elected. Great time to be alive.
