What Were the "Good Old Days" Actually Like?

The earliest president I can really remember is Obama so I can't recall a time when it didn't feel like America was in decline. Everyone says it was better before but it's pretty hard to imagine a world without wokeness.
The first president that I voted for was Ronald Reagan. I can now see that they were pulling at the threads of the fabric of our society, but I couldn't see it then.
When we were kids, our parents told us things like "Go outside and be home before the street lights come on". So, we'd get on our bikes and explore the town with our friends. Based on that alone, you can imagine that the average town was MUCH safer than the average town now.
I raised my children in the same town that I grew up in and I couldn't raise them the same way because the big city problems were seeping in and my children were actually afraid to go too far from home alone.
