America’s decline really started with Richard Nixon. I’m not an expert though.
In the Netherlands, the 90’s were pretty good. I’m sure there were downsides,but there always are.
The economy was good. We had a firm social safety net, maybe even too firm. That is now only a shell of its former self.
The general acceptance of the gay community was on the uprise. The media was becoming gay positive, because of some key public figures. Trans not so much, only in the form of “drag queens” and such.
Some things that are bad today, were bad than. Environmental issues, animal rights, gender equality, institutionalized racism.
Most things are getting better now, but the economy is shit. That is fully to blame on capitalism. There are voices in power for change, but not enough.
A long time ago, I heard someone say that a Swedish drunk laying in a gutter knows more about American politics than the average American college graduate - it is true.

My comment was very US-centered. I apologize for that.
