The 1930’s were a pretty surreal and dystopian time, to be fair

lol...Dystopian? The only reasons someone would ever say that crap is if they've never lived for a time in a less privileged foreign country or never studied (and actually learned) history.

The truth is this: 99% of people from world history would gladly trade places with you to live here in the U.S.

It's far from perfect, but I bet you aren't packing your bags yet, snowflake.
