This made me think of old political cartoons and how you might see a few examples and you were like huh, but it did not really sink in what was happening at the the time. We really are in a gilded age revival and I very much don’t like it. I was born in the 20th century and the 21st was supposed to be more advanced, equitable, and intelligent. I really don’t want to live in the 19th century part deux.

    I blame historical dramas. Glamorizing the Victorian age by leaving out all the misogyny and syphilis.
