What decade was the peak of American civilization? POLL

I voted 40 to 50

That was probably generous

We peaked in 1960

1700's

Compare an American built 1960 Cadillac to a 1960 Chinese rickshaw or a 1960 Japanese Datsun

We built all our own appliances, televisions, vehicles, goods

and we built the best

people dressed clean and nice

low crime

1891 to 1900. Tesla and the other scientists of the world were on fire. Knowledge was flying and society was moving forward in a major way. Although the invasion started at the end of this decade, the country was still pretty united at that point.

the $5. rotisserie chicken. Apex of our civilization.

very few gun laws

NO DHS

NO TSA

NO Patriot Act

Silver money

1951-1960

when Trump said make America great again he was talking about the 50"s

post JFK is all a coup with the facade of the pillars of democracy in place

No surprise here. The Frivolous Fifties were an unparalleled decade of hardcore American boomar debt consumption. Perhaps the decade most responsible for the rise of what is know known as "the American Debt".

Thanks for the pin, I truly am curious what others think.

Also I think our rapid decline began after 9/11. It took a nose dive.

I chose 70-80 mostly based on the chart at the link.

I agree with most of you on here about the 60s being the zenith of American supremacy and all presidents post JFK (with the exception of Trump) are part of the soft coup. I think the 90s were the best decade in American history.

At no other time were consumer goods so easily accessible and cheap, society had not yet collapsed into degenerancy, the world was mostly at peace and tensions between the east and west were low.

Yes, the problems that lingee to today still existed then, they were just much more minor to Americans.

I grew up in Loyalist country, so I think they got off on the wrong foot from the start.

80's were awesome for me. Graduated High school, met my wife, enlisted and we lived in Germany for a couple years. Shaped the rest of my life.

Widespread belief in higher power that rewards virtue and punishes vice, and following ten Commandments

Our grandparents would've tarred and feathered that trash talking grifter outta the gate

1700s-1800s .

The USA was still a truly free people and a Great Nation.

1800-1810

Thomas Jefferson elected President amid electoral hijinks by his detractors.

TJ cut the Federal budget in half and abolished the international slave trade to America.

He fought, with honor, the elite psychopathic oligarchs of his day.

The IQ in Washington has been dropping ever since.

getting rich off mass producing stolen reich technology

Period before the Vietnam war, hippies movement and JFK's Assassination.

Pre JFK Coup assassination by the CIA Deep State

Pre 63

We’re not there yet.

Not too long after that year, Malcolm X warned about white liberals. He warned about them when white conservatives and white moderates still dominated America. So he wasn't warning about the ruling elite of his time. Nope. He was warning about the ruling elite of today's time.

1766 - 1776.

I'm in my 60's and every decade has been worse than the one before it. The 70's wern't too bad.

As a non American who was born in the 1950s I'd agree.
The real rot started in about 1968.
All those whacked out lib/lefties (it was called Radical Chic back then) who decided to "work within the system to change it from within,"
SDS, Weathermen, black radicals, fempigs.. not just working for the grubbermint but running it.
Charlie Manson would be so proud!
