Which historical era(s) best represents your politics?

[SATW]

In America:

The Cold War Era:
- In a broad sense, the Cold War Era fits me pretty perfectly. There were Republicans and Democrats I could strongly, passionately and easily support. I would've aligned myself with Scoop Jackson Democrats and Reagan Republicans.
- American Zionism's heyday was during the cold war, imo, when AIPAC and other prominent Pro-Israel orgs started and began doing amazing things for the US-Israel Relationship.
- This was the era of actual bipartisanship and civility in politics. The Howard Baker's and Daniel Patrick Moynihan's of the world fit my worldview of how politics should work perfectly.
- The Post-WW2 era was generally a better time in history for American Jews then say the 1900s-1940s.
- Strong activism on behalf of the Soviet Jews and Ethiopian Jews showed humanity a world that was at least willing to try to be Pro-Jewish in a meaningful sense.
- I would've easily supported the Civil Rights battles and marches of the 1950s-1970s and would've proudly supported people like MLK, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells and Bayard Rustin (among many others).
- Some of my ideological heroes were prominent during this time in history: Ronald Reagan, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp, Scoop Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ed Koch, George Schultz, William and James Buckley etc...

With more specifics in relations to years, 1981-1989 prob were the closest to my political views, with special mentions to 1945-1953 and 1963-1973 due to specific events occurring in those timeframes.


Outside of the Cold War, the 1990's would've also been a good era for me politically. Democrats still had many acceptable pols to me while the GOP was, on balance, still pretty solid.

Early 2000's (2000-2005) fit my politics very well as well.

In Israel:

1945-1949 (Fight for Israel's Independence)
1967-1973 (Six Day War, Yom Kippur War - and everything in between)
1976-1982 (Operation Entebbe, Election and PMship of Menachem Begin)
1986-1992 (Second stint of Yitzhak Shamir's PMship; which saw the second wave of the rescue of Ethiopian Jews, along with the big influx of Soviet Jewish immigrants)
1996-1999 (Election of Bibi and his first term)
2009-2015 (Bibi's 2nd, 3rd and 4th governments and a relatively calm period for Israel - especially compared to the early 2000's).
