Yep. The summer of love. I was there.

The 60’s brought us Star Trek!!! 💙💜🦋💜💙

For those Americans who want the 50s back, they need to know that the wealthy paid 92 percent in taxes, and that our grandparents belonged to labor unions. Oh, and IKE was a democratic socialist in practice.

From each we shall take the following to make the 2030s! : 1920s: jazz 30s: Pluto 40s: post-trauma baby boom 50s: sexy cars (2nd 50s = ev) 60s: space race 70s: a renewed love affair with quality TV 80s: 90s: delicious, silly hope 00s: never ending white-magic tech

Does Poso stand for Piece Of Shit Obscenity?

Funny how the folks crying to get that shit back weren't there to live through it. Some day, some idiot will look back at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and say, "Man! That was living!" Being older, you will be able to look them in the eye and tell them how full of shit they are.

I thought we were heading back to the 30s...

Does anyone want the 50’s back? Who would want that.

Just the taxation of the rich and corporations in the 1950's. Everything else sucked... (Except for the blues musicians)

They did have really good style too, at least in my opinion. The cars looked cool, so did some the architecture and frankly swank outfits. Maybe I'm romanticizing a bit though.

1959 Chevrolet Impala. My favorite car, over 100 MPH the rear end started to lift. But it really looked cool.

The fifties ain't coming back no matter how badly you want it.

It's definitely not the financial side of the 1950's that they want. I guess we're just done with the quiet part. They just blatantly want white male supremacy.

The 50s??? Pfffff give me the 60s EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

When I was a thirteen year old boy, I had a savings and checking account at a local bank. When laws changed and it became legal for women to have their own checking accounts, I helped my grandmother go to the bank and set her accounts up. That was in the 1980s! The past sucked!

Now we are stuck in Oceania....

He may mean the 1850s, when the Southern enslavers ruled the roost

What does that child know about either decade. I don’t have any idea why he has an audience

he not a child he is a cumshot that want chaos and a good grift watch him on his show do not know what he wants more chaos or$ MORE and that scary but he is also the reason for the whole pizza gate thing in wash. just churning up conspiricy and chaos

Only sexist, racist white men want the 50’s back. They know they’ll eventually be outnumbered, and this thrashing around in their dying throes is as harmful to us as it is pathetic to watch.

youtu.be/DcCHScn4gpw?...

Not going back!

If they brought back the fifties, wouldn't that then be followed by a repeat of the 60s? Also, not sure they want everything about the 50s. Especially the tax rates.

And the power of the labor unions.

If we’re going to redo a decade let’s do the late 90’s Greatest economy of my life. Low unemployment, ppl were nice & not addicted to politics.

My mom always said that every one who wants to go back to the 50's has to remember that the radical 60's was a result of those restrictive years. All of these MAGA republicans better be ready. Of course she was a young woman at the time and I think she was a strong participant in the 60's.

The 60's were the coolest of times, they were the worst of times. In 2025, I don't see anything cool.

Wow. The thought that went behind this racist message is appalling. Like what made the 50s great was the segregated neighborhoods, schools, etc.

Yes. There were a lot of problems in the 60s, but also some cool stuff, like the Beatles, Civil Rights and the Antiwar Movement and positive cultural change, and there was this cool show on TV, I think it was called Star Trek.

I’d be up for the tax rates, though.

If you want the 50ies... you need to end a World War that will kill off over 100M people... no , I prefer to live in the future..

Amen. The rewards of the '60s and into the '70s, were hard fought, to the music and words of a "million" great songs, from a "thousand or more" great voices and lyricists/poets. We will dust off those times. We shall fight and rise again. I didn't think I'd be protesting at 70.

Nobody who lived through the 50s would want them back.

Hell I'm an 80's kid I don't want to go back then. I would have to learn how to actually wear a skirt or dress FUCK THAT SHIT I like my jeans, and not having to wear makeup.

You are very wise. It was cold & dreary except for 1959 which had a fabulous summer & everything started to look brighter.

George, if you remember the '60s, you weren't really there.

The sixties were enough

What a Dumb Posor™ [sic]. In the 50s the US firmly stood with their Allies instead of stabbing them cowardly in the back and selling them to Moscow and Peking. And that's just for historical starters why what THEY actually want is 1930s NaZi Germany. 😛

And that's exactly what Tяump's henchmen are doing reich now.

The 50s and early 60s were very oppressive for women. We were either sex bombs or jokes, often both.

In the 60s Girls could not wear pants to school, in winter. The city I lived in had Black areas and White areas. Women got paid 1/2 of what men got paid. There was a lot of social change. I thought we were past all that, but Donald Trump wants to turn back the clock. It was only good for White men.

Still quite skewed that way in a lot of ways, isn’t it sad?

The 60's were bad too. People of color still being lynched, sent to prison and death just for not being white. People fighting for the right to exist. Nah, I want to fight to stop all this crap, and move forward. Just erase trumps and his kult/klan.

It doesn't matter how many times I tell Conservatives that the economy was only strong in the 50's because we had no competition. All the other major economies were bombed to shit.

I think they want the 1850s back, with all their talk about "Manifest Destiny".

We need the 60s back again but without the brain waste of drug use. We need the protest music, the protests and the disobedience.

Maybe we bring back the 40s. The part where my grandfather killed nazis.

I like where you’re going.

…except for the Vietnam war, the riots and assassinations

If you want the 50s back, you need to bring the taxes to the wealthies back to 90%.

Only thing good about the 60s was the music.

No. Won't work for women. We want all that we had gained and more.

For those of us lucky enough to be around in. the 60s it was the best time to be alive. Everything was great. The best music in the world, complete freedom, we went out every night and partied without a care in the world. Wonderful times.

The assassinations (2 Kennedys & MLK) and the Vietnam war weren't so cool though. I was in high school & college. My first boyfriend was killed in Vietnam. Very sad family

I suppose that, as an Englishman, I have a very different perspective. I was 16 years old at the end of the decade. I loved the 60s. Each decade has got incrementally worse since. I feel for kids today.

There is no more quiet part.

I'll take the 60's and early 70's any day! There was lots of hope then, lots of resistance, lots of questioning authority. Where are the modern-day hippies?

"Repeal the sixties"?? Now there's some MAGA thinking at its finest. Pretty soon Donnie Dumb-Dumb might come out with an executive order doing just that.

That eejit obviously did not live through either decade. I did. The 50s were grim and our first taste of austerity with plenty of faux religion. The 60s was like a splash of colour as our generation took hold of life and told the prudes to shove it. I’m not going back now. My parents beat the Nazis.

Jack completely missed it by a mile. Rosa Parks started the resistance by not moving to the back of the bus. I'm wondering where's the resistance energy? No one counterprotesting MAGA supremacists anymore? No one defending our vulnerable communities? Where's the loud?

the fifties are when I t was fine to kill nazis, right? I'll take that for a quick purge.

And no one liked Russia in the 50s. THATS when they added In God we Trust on our money and added UNDER God to the pledge. People wore shirts that said better DEAD than RED.

No, in the fifties people were blacklisted for shooting at fascists in the thirties.

We were the peace and love generation. WTF happened to us?

Materialism and greed.

The 50's? WTAF. These fuckers can move to Russia if they want the fifties back. Fuck these racist bastards.

They don't the 1950s. They want the 1850s.

Project 2025 and MAGA wants to take us back to the 1850s, not the 1950s. MAGA wants to legalize bullying.

60's weren't so great for women, nor liberals in politics. John, Robert, Martin...

I’m convinced it’s not the 50s, it’s the Gilded Age (late 19th century).

Trump wants the 1850s. Let's not complete trash the 1950s.

Yes - the James Buchanan years. He and Trump are tied for last place so, quite fitting.

I had a great time in the 90’s 😊

I enjoyed the 80s. Good music!

Anything lower than the 1990s sucks

George I think in reality he wants to go back to the 40s and 30s and I think you know what I mean!

Born in 69 & 100% agree 👽👽👽

Didn’t you get plenty of racism in the 60s?

More Beatles less Jack Posobeic.

He means 1750, I think.

Who THE FUCK wants the 50s back?!?! Oh yeah, straight white men.

I think a majority of black Americans would disagree with either decade

Why would I want the 50's back? But yeah, the 60's were awesome!

bsky.app/profile/them...

Bring back the Big Bands!!!

And the fashion - everyone looked so glamorous!

Only good thing from the 50s was the tax rate and union participation,

Parts of the 60's. There were bloody battles for civil rights, LGBTQ wasn't remotely legal, abortion illegal, birth control only legal if you were married, same with credit cards for women...but sure, music and the beginnings of winning what we're going to have to fight for all over again. Cool.

They mean the 1850s

Pinkard and Bowden (sp?) had a song about “if the 50s were so great, why’d the 60s have to set the world straight “

The 50’s : a time when middle class white women suffered from housewife syndrome because they were not fulfilled so were plied with barbiturates to keep’em quiet

If they wanted the 50s back, then corporations should be paying a lot more in taxes.

Except for the asassinations

As a sixties kid I thoroughly agree.

You also have to raise taxes on billionaires

do they realize how the tax code worked in the 50's

having been a teenager in the 60, have to agree... very cool 😎

The 50s, when men were men? Not whingeing gasbags complaining about all the rights they’ll have to share in the future, you mean?

Well other than some things like the Vietnam war and assassinations of our best leaders.

Repeal to 80's.... that is when Reagan sold war weapons to Iran...so GOP are fine withn traitors. Oh... Reagan also put corporations on their golden pedestals. Reagan decimated thr working class and families .

Yup. All under the guidance of Milton Friedman. This the downfall of America began, & has yet to abate. I fear that Gilead is on the horizon. Opus Dei & Project 2025 are well underway... Tragic. G. Washington would weep. T. Jefferson would scream.

If you want the 50s back, be prepared to live through the 40s. No one wants that. Well, some people want that, but they’re weird.

I want to be more forward, in the 60's I still didn't have all that many rights, I still couldn't have my own bank account or do much without male permission.

I certainly don't want the 50s back either. The late 60s & 70s were the best for me.

Nope. We are not going back. I enjoy having a bank account and credit card.

Not if you’re a woman

Women didn’t have much rights in the 60’s; so no uncle George

WHICH 50s? The 1850s? The 1750s? The 1350?!!?

Republicans: "hold my beer"

1960s were not cool. There were some cool things but Vietnam war, and assassinations and race riots and murdered children in the south, etc made the '60s suck. Some funny movies, good tunes, and clean LSD did not make the '60s cool.

The Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were pretty cool

They are cool because Segregation was the law. You have no idea how bad it was for Black people. They were called Negros or just Nigers. That is what they want back.

Which is precisely why conservatives want to go back to the 1950s.

50s tax rates would be great

Reading between the lines and knowing what disgusting beliefs he harbors between his ears, he's saying we have to renegotiate and repeal the civil rights laws enacted in the 60's.

I want the 90% taxation on the uber rich back but you can keep your Jim Crow bigotry of the 50s and early 60s.

Phasers on Stunning!

Women still did not have a lot of rights in the 60s

Hey George, I was born 9/11/66. 3 days after the first episode. I don't remember it though. 😃

The 50s had polio. I don't even want the '80s...

I think most MAGA types would be happy with the 80s. No gay rights, glass ceilings for women and POC like the Huxtables.

Neither 50s 60s or early 70s were great for women or minorities.

The 60s. . Where women and blacks freed themselves and kids spoke out against an unjust war

This gimmick account is still a thing?

I don't want to go back at all. I was born in 1955. I remember the '60s as a time of murder and mayhem and civil unrest. In the 70s I was given more rights as a woman but they didn't become possible in the South until the 80s. Nope. I am not longing to go back at all.

I want the eighties back…. Lots of hookers and blow….😵‍💫

Yeah, I am your age. I remember traveling in the early 60s and seeing White's Only signs. Then Kennedy got shot, the Vietnam War, riots, MLK shot, JFK shot, more Vietnam. Best music ever because of the above. People remember the music but a lot of riots, war and assassinations made the music.

JFK should be RFK. I had already covered One Kennedy.

I had to correct my kids misinterpretations of the music. We went on vacation to DC the summer after Kennedy was killed. I saw his grave when it was still mostly dirt and surrounded by a white picket fence and armed soldiers. Took my kids years later to see the beauty today.

I remember the fbi searching for anti-war people. I remember the multiple assassinations,MLK, two Kennedys. The intense racism, the lynchings. Sure it brought change but the cost was devastating.

I hate to tell all them MAGAts who wants the ‘50s back, but… How do you think we ended up with the ‘60s in the first place?!!

We had our last chance in November.

We’ll take the taxes-on-the-rich and strong unions part. Oh, and the Montgomery bus boycott and school integration.

And that's it. Those ACTUALLY were good things. The Marginal tax rate built America. Reagan started the destruction of your nation, Trump will bring back the 50's, the 1750's that is.

Sounds more like we need to repeal the 80s. As always, fuck Ronald Reagan.

100% this

Racist Ronald walked so Racist Donald could run www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7dH... But Racist Donald seems to've forgotten his stupid EO would invalidate his own citizenship

Laws don't apply to important people; they are tools to control the plebes.

But the repeal is all but done.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 Voting Rights Act of 1965 Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) of 1974 Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 ... There are more, but yeah. Not even the 60s. LGBTQ+ laws are even more recent.

I think they want to repeal everything FDR related and beyond

If I wanted to go to the 50s, I'll just dig out some Fallout. (One of the games has a leader leading Roman lookalikes who "ain't in there", if you know what I mean)

You can splash in some 80s

I forgot about Racism Watchdog.. Clearly he’s got his hands full on that other hellhole but I hope he’ll eventually create an account here on BlueSky..

I always thought they meant the 1850s.

If you liked the Dark Ages you have to repeal the Enlightenment. We certainly need more stoning in government. No position too extreme, you can't satirize these assholes.

If we are choosing, I want 90s for clothes and music. Before 9/11 when we had a bit of hope.

Can we bring back the 1890s instead. I'm a modern Victorian ragamuffin who feels really left out

Sadly, we are talking the 1850s

You're actually a decent person despite being a Democrat. Spiffy. Love you Mr Sulu!

I miss the 70's and the 80's. They made really awesome TV shows and movies. Now all they make is shit.

The 60s weren’t cool for women. No economic independence

None of it is coming back. America has lived its best days, and from this point forward, it will be a steady, slow decline. Not educating your population and shifting all power and wealth to the top will do this. Nobody in China needs two or three jobs to make a living—new world order.

I take it you’ve never been to China.

You measure the wealth of any country accurately, not by how good the ones on top are doing but by how well those on the bottom are fair. The richer some are, the poorer others must be, or how do you think this works?

Working Time Directive. EU27. No more than 48 hours per period of 7 days may be worked over all employments that are subject to income tax. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

No. Absolutely not. This isn't the first time America has been at war with itself.

The first time Civilians didn't have access to Military Grade Weapons The American civil war had more dead Americans than the 1st and 2nd World War combined.. Americans can't afford another Civil War. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

I think there is no stopping it. I believe that is the very reason the Democrats rolled over so fast.

Project 2025 has existed for such a long time. Civil War may have happened, but those assholes just went into hiding. They never disappeared. They need a reminder that they lost the first time.

This is their last-ditch effort. Our biggest hurdle is that we no longer produce as many well-educated individuals as other countries. Greed for power has led to a systematic dumbing down of our population, and this is a generational problem. The empire declines.

The United States. 36% have a 3rd level Degree USBC Ireland 48% have a 3rd level Degree CSO Britain 48.9% have a 3rd level Degree ONS The cost of a medical degree in Ireland €2500:00 per year. Average 4 years. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

We don't exactly have a choice if it happens.

The 60s gave us some really great science fiction, too!

Hmm i remember the 60s with gay raids by police, blacks had limited rights where they could live and work, latino farm workers treated like slaves, corporations polluting air land and sea. Vietnam war, jfk, rfk, mlk, malcom murdered Glad to hear it was good for you though

You mean no Vietnam War? DEAL.

mf fuck the 60s, i wanna go towards the actual FUTURE FOR ONCE IN OUR LIVES

Look I know this guy is romanticizing the "good ole days" that weren't all that good in reality (I was there). Does he know time travel is not actually real? Why doesn't he do some "Cosplay" to satisfy his craving instead of subjecting us all to his imagination?

Jack believes "Leave It to Beaver" was a documentary.

What century?

Jack couldn't handle the 60's - too much frredom

Indeed. Ruling class freaked the fuck out.

"Posobiec" sounds like some kind of rectal medication.

If they want the 50's I say they need to give up everything created after 1959. Music, communications, food, clothes, all of it.

Celebrate the 60’s. What I remember of them was mostly pleasurable

If they want the 50’s back, then they should want the 90% marginal tax rate for those in the highest income bracket.

And the strength of unions

No they want the part where white men can do whatever they want, races are segregated and women can only do certain things.

In the 1950s, you know the time when America was great, the effective tax rate was 42 to 45 percent for the top 1 percent. Today it is 26 to 28 percent. The smart billionaires are the ones who stfu with most people never hearing of them. bsky.app/profile/prof...

I’d happily do the 70’s and the 80’s again.

If you want the 50s back You gotta return to the marginal tax rates of the 40s

Well? It was a good time for taxing the ultra-rich. This was the last time things were a bit more on a level playing field and 'they' don't want that.

Nope, not me, born in the 70’s and really don’t want a do over in life, going through the same BULLSHIT over again, I’ll pass 😉

The 60's were filled with violence and murder! Maybe the drugs you did have clouded your memories.

60s had Star Trek and Twilight Zone. And a conscious for some people.

Repeal the sixties? Really? Okay. Then say goodbye to, The Beatles, Hendrix, Zepplin, The Who, The Beach Boys, Cream, The Stones, The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Credence, The Band... etc.

If you were wondering whether the assault on DEI was an opening salvo against civil rights, you now have your answer.

I was a little girl in the 60's. Obviously that time period, and the discussions my family had about difficult topics while I was a little girl, shaped my current leanings. Heh, we got to see Star Trek: TOS in its first run, which sparked many of those discussions!

50s a bore. 60s, 70s, 80s, YEAH! Then silence.

Pause for a moment to reflect on the fact that he believes the FIFTIES were the Optimal Period In our history.

Spoiler Alert: You cannot go "back in time" and do things like make the 60's not happen. You can't even go back to the day before yesterday and NOT make a stupid phone call threatening Denmark's P.M. Past is past. Sorry, I don't make the rules. trueman-triola.stories.email

And what would he know about the realities of life in either the 50s or the 60s?

You made the 60s cool, George....you and the cast of Star Trek.

Can we just have the fashion and prices of the 50s but keep a progressive inclusive culture? Or is a package deal? 😅

ATSPE - Here's the REAL DEAL & BOTTOM LINE...🗽

The 60's were cool somewhat. The 70's also. I saw a lot of Grateful Dead shows in the 1970's. I'd like my old 1965 VW bus back now that I really know how to adjust the carb. Truth is the past mostly sucked. Medicine is so much better today.

Oasleys acid it was better but weeds so !much better now

Oh, yeah. Weed is better now and I can grow up to 6 plants in my backyard, not that the local police ever do inventory. I've seen local cops buying at the dispensaries.

Arizona a friend of mine grew Maui Waui and gave me like a pound and a half I call it Valley Zowie as it was grown here in the Tucson Valley

A lot of us found out who we are in the '60s. And we are not changing our minds about freedom and human rights.

I wouldn't mind the 40s back for a little while-- when we fought fascists instead of voted for them.

We are going back to the 1100s after a short stop in the 30s.

Yikes, these MAGAs are the biggest assholes in the universe.

1966, 1967, 1968 Star Trek 😬

Women couldn’t have credit cards. Schools were segregated in a large portion of the country. A portion was illegal. JFK, RFK, and MLK were all assassinated. The 60s sucked!

The Sixties did lay a foundation for the institutionalized progress women & people of color realized in the Seventies.

Hey George. I would have retweeted this, but you didn't use ALT text to make it accessible. It's a REALLY easy thing to do! Here's a text from images extractor. Just copy paste!

The 60s had their moments, for sure. They also had institutionalized racism, misogyny, and false patriotism -- the kind that involves hating other countries rather than loving your own.

Behind this is possibly a secret desire to repeal the Civil Rights Act but I could be wrong…

He means the 1850’s. They want to undo the results of the Civil War.

Didn’t TFG reverse an LBJ Executive Order?😂

Jack should grow up. We’re in the 20s. The 50s are over.

This is disingenuous. If they want the 50s back they can focus on eliminating that wealth gap.

The sixties according to Arlo Guthrie:

I was born in 1953. I would like to see the 1960s comeback. (Dallas, Texas, USA) 🇺🇸

But they had Rockabilly, Googie, and Studebakers!

My elderly aunts told me the 50s were NOTHING like these white male GOP claim. Especially if u were POS, a woman, and from marginalized communities.

Do you mean “PoC”?

Yes

No worries i make typos all the time too ☺️

We're lucky if we make it to 2060 with these assholes in charge.

Personally I wouldn’t mind going back to the cowboy’s day’s and convening a Kangaroo Court in D.C. and hanging all the RAPIST, ADULTERER’S & POS’S and Child Molester’s. That would remove all the member’s of MAGA from D.C.

The 60s must have been an amazing time to be alive: Star Trek, Beatlemania, moon landing... epic!

Don’t fooled they don’t want the 1950’s back they want the 1850’s back and all that entails!

Yep they definitely want to take away civil rights

We couldn’t get married in the 60s but there was some cool shit happening with music and Star Trek
