But I think it does reflect a weird fantasy about a (mythical and non-existent) past time when there was a stronger, purer America, before it was corrupted by evil bankers and immigrants...

So you are saying America has never been more prosperous,never been more at peace, the streets have never been safer,families have never been stronger than today? Talk about Orwellian. You sound just like these Marxists that claim Americans that want to return the good old days of the 1950's are dirty KKK Nazis. Like I said, Paul's candidacy really is showing people's true colors.

The 1950s weren’t the good old days. Blacks lived totally segregated lives and were treated like dirt, women worked at mostly menial jobs and were paid less than men even for the same work, and the general standard of living was much lower...some parts of the US didn’t even have electricity at that time. I know because I lived in one of them.

We weren’t isolationists in the 1950s, but in Paul’s deranged mind, if we just dump all of our power and kiss the Muslim hand, all will be well.

It’s a weird fantasy, and it has definite racist overtones. As you said, Paul’s candidacy is showing people’s true colors, and you might want to examine yours.
