The 1950's were NOTED for conformity and lack of citizen involvement in politics. "The Organization Man". "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit". "Growing Up Absurd". All from that decade.

The '30s and '40's weren't a whole lot better in spite of no lack of rabble rousers in the '30s. FDR was President for 15 of those 20 years. The great majority of people had no idea that their President was a cripple. Or that at Malta he was so sick as to be nonfunctional.

That milk carton thing? That wasn't done in the '30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's. Try 70's.

Those Good Old Days never existed.
