Im a little younger than you asking but to me yes. Its not as much what people are experiencing atm as direction. Coming off the seventies it seemed that although we had a ways to go we generally were getting better with human rights, equality, quality of life. We seemed to backslide in the 80’s but there is always kinda ups and downs so it just seemed part of the cycle. Backsliding a bit and we would pick ourselves back up. The nineties did well enough that it reinforced this but honestly it did not make the progess it should have. Like that is the point where the us should have finally got universal healthcare and it did not happen. Then like 911 and the aughts was big time backsliding with the patriot act and other things. I think technology made it less obvious how we wer falling. Also laws around globalization that were easy not to notice dovetailed nicely with peeling back rights. Then like the tens the progress was pretty anemic. None of the laws were repealed that regressed us in the aughts and the universal healthcare that finally materialized was a conservative concept that at least did have a lot of work to make it actually function. It was becoming obvious that “normal” had really come down. Then the teens just started getting crazy and we blipped out of it for a sec but went right back in. Again you have folks still for the most part house and eating but there are tons of adults living with parents or vice versa kind of things. The house of cards gets taller and the peanut butter keeps getting spread thinner and we know we can’t scrape the jar forever.
