I am not from America and lives in Europe. I am trying to understand what life and values the republicans in office right now wants for America. Is the 50's America the kind of country they hope to go back to or is it somewhat of a new state we have never seen before?

I am genuinely wondering if they have some kind of "utopian" community in mind doing all these changes to the economy and values.

Judging by how they want Jim Crow-era laws back, we can assume they want the 1870 ~ 1959 period back.

But honestly, they are fascists. They want do what the Nazis did except more Amercianized. Sure we won't have dedicated labor camps or extermination camps in our country. But, we'll happily blitz through laws to be passed that'll make it harder and harder for LGBTQ people to have rights. Don't like middle-class? No problem! We'll just orchestrate a system with our trusty friend, Capitalism, that'll make it harder for things to be affordable for them.

Laws? What laws? lol, only for those who can't afford to break them. Rules and Accountability? Lol, what's that? That's only for those people who're tied to this silly concept called morals and karma.

That's America for you.
