We didn't return to the Moon because the "hippie culture" being promoted by the MSM was strongly against spending public money on anything but envronmentalism and handouts to the "inner city."

Wrong. No, it's because there was no economic impetus to go to the moon, the "triumph" over the USSR had paid off and there was no reason to go to the moon anymore, then Skylab took over and they focused on LEO so they could "still be seen to be doing something" while all the space programs went black budget into the military.
