Someday we'll say this about the epoch we're living in now.
"I know how it ended, it was awfully degenerate, hedonistic in so many ways, but I still miss those days...."
So much of the "conservative" block is really just older folks doing this, living in the aftermath of the same ideologies they hate today. Like a man smoking outside the chemotherapy ward, they don't want to go back in time and never smoke again, they just want to go back to the days when the smoking hadn't given them tumors.
