Their argument that the nostalgia craze, which peaked with television's Happy Days, provided GOP Think Tanks with the concept for putting conservatism back in the White House. It could be the 1950s again.

It took a while -- 1980 -- to set it up (and torpedo Jimmy Carter). But they did it.

MAGA played the same game in 2016, more or less. They dangled a similar carrot.
