Taking USA how far back is far back enough for Trump, MAGA?

Well, poop. I’ll admit to not being familiar with much of the details of Lindbergh’s story other than the broad strokes.

Somewhat hilariously, I read his story repeatedly as a child — it was in a children’s book of biographies of heroes that my dad had from his grammar school days. My favorite biography in it was Marie Curie, who was the only woman in it. But Lindbergh’s bio was told as a children’s adventure and included the president sending a U.S. Naval vessel to pick up Lindy and the Spirit of St Louis and bring them back for a heroes welcome in NY. Basically ended there (didn’t even go into the Lindbergh baby kidnapping). Seeing the Spirit of St. Louis in the Smithsonian was a big deal to me on my first visit. I was in college before I found out about the dark side of Lindbergh’s politics.

Later, The Plot Against America really hit home for me as a result, as well, having been exposed to the old time hero-worship of Lindy as a young reader.

Honestly, I think I know 3 things about Lindbergh…

1. He flew across the Atlantic.
2. He was a white supremacist and very likely pro-Nazi.
3. His baby got stolen.

I think that’s pretty much everything.

The Republican Party leadership doesn’t want to return to America’s Golden Age(whenever that was…), they want to return to the Gilded Age. Anything to keep them on top and the others beholden to them. A tale as old as time
