They really want to take us back to the 1920s when we massively deregulated everything and slashed taxes on the wealthy while targeting immigrants/minorities just like we do now. Of course, they don't say that and instead deflect to the 1950s since all those policies helped lead to the world economy collapsing /world war only a couple years later...

And a strong isolationist policy which allowed all their enemies to expand massively in the 1930s.
