Hey that one came to remembrance for me immediately also.Ecclesiastes 7:10
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Some people think back to the 1950's and it is true that we were at peace in the 50's and most families back then had two parents. However, it is also true that the 50's took place before the civil rights movement, when the voting rights bill was passed, Medicare and other important measures. Truly, I cannot say really say when the good old days were. Such is probably a personal perspective and nothing more.

Like end of the 90s, pre 9-11 basically. Neoliberalism still riding high, none of the Bush era silliness.

The really good days are in future.
But, yes, 911 changed America and the world. Our internal and external reaction was the greatest over-reach ion US history. We've spent trillions overseas and on internal security. And we prevented 2001 style terrorist attacks, while totally failing to prevent cyber attacks, and foreign influence on various US groups (e.g. the NRA).
I graduated high school in 1977 in a Virginia suburb of DC. Nixon had resigned. Gerald Ford was president, then a peanut farmer named Jimmy Carter from Plains Georgia was elected. He is the oldest living president. I am trying to learn as I age. My strength has receded some. Technology and information sharing has increased to the point I think these are the good old days. It reminds me of a Carly Simon song, “Anticipation.”I am not as dismissive of Bush. He was indeed a passionate conservative, and passed the most important social legislation since Johnson: the establishment of Medicare Part D (prescription coverage).
Bush was, and is, pro-immigrant. He had the support of many Hispanics.
Unfortunately, Bush will be remembered for the wars, our countries response to 911 that was supported by almost everyone in the beginning. As with Johnson and Viet Nam, Bush couldn't find a way out. (neither could Obama or Trump).
