If you combine the 1920s with the Nixon era you get the Trump era.

Bad ideas, bad beliefs, Prohibition, there are different prohibitions this time, Massive tax cuts for the rich, greed , lies, attacks on the rule of law, deregulation, corruption. Both of those eras did not end well. It is fair to say the Trump era could end very badly for all of us.
