During the 80's it seemed like:
We were winning the Cold War. With blue jeans and Dallas reruns.
We were doing a victory lap in the space race, preparing to colonize other planets.
Computers were going to change the world, we just had to watch out for robots taking over.
Race relations were improving, black people would catch up education and income-wise within the generation, then race would no longer be a political issue.
Illegal immigration wasn't even on the average guy's mind. Demographic transformation was some crackpot theory.
All the world's conflicts would melt away as we ditched our old religious and ideological hang-ups and merged into the New Hedonism.
