    Are you a doctor in some rural ditch that really likes fashion or something? Otherwise I don’t see how that’s “everything”. The daily life of your average western person wasn’t too different in the 1920s, nor were their political opinions. The main point I wanted to make is that we still generally talk and care about the same issues. If we weren’t addicted to scrolling social media and were esthetically blind, most of us wouldn’t immediately realize it if we were transported back in time.

      I don’t know about that. We didn’t even have a public radio station in the US until 1920. Television didn’t come around until 1925. Frozen food in 1929.
      The simple act of driving to the store to get shopping done for dinner would be quite different.
