So many changes have happened in a single life-time. Political, societal, technological etc. And change is always unsettling. Most of all though the utopia promised in the 50s, by Walt certainly, but also others, has not come to pass. The MAGA movement is not about returning to what was, but rather about a return to a feeling, a nostalgic return to a time of hope. And in the 50s the future hoped for was very white, and kept women at home. Disney didn't present a future of women working, or having bodily agency, it presented a future of privileged white men. Disney, the company, itself changed along the way. It's far more progressive now, and indeed if anything takes the progressiveness a bit far. That change in something so nostalgic adds to that MAGA angst. Of course the present is nothing like the future Walt imagined. His vision seems like a quaint pastiche now. Is it too late to remake America into that vision now? I guess we'll find out.
