There is a literate dude who posts on X as Cynical Publius and is said to be a retired Army colonel. Normally he writes with style and asperity about weighty matters. Today he tackles quite another issue, namely whether the 1980s and 90s were America at its apex. Spoiler alert, he and his wife conclude those years were exactly that.
I don't necessarily agree but I do believe he makes a good argument. He cities a lot of cultural and political evidence in support of that conclusion. For those old enough to clearly remember the period, you may find his column length trip down memory lane evokes a cloud of nostalgia. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
