Yep my step grandmother grew up in the depression and she would buy a enough groceries to feed an army every week. Even though it was only here in the house. She had boxes of cereal from freaking 80’s on the shelf and deep freezers and I mean 2 to 3 full of meat. You didn’t her cooking it was so bad meat gone freezer rot. But she couldn’t help it. She was child during the depression she talk about it often and how bad it was.
My grandmother also live through the depression. She would save half a cracker with some cheese on it for the next day. I don’t think I saw her waste a morsel of food in 30 years.
From 32 to 52 a Democrat was president, the Republicans lost the House and Senate pretty much constantly for 60 years, sounds to me like people remember, you just want to argue for the sake of arguing.
Like people forgot the Great Depression? It’s possible you’re underestimating how bad this collapse will be.
I was born in 1970, and some of the adults around when I was a kid still lived like at any day the rug could be pulled out from under them.

They might not forget that it happened, but not who was responsible.

You’re talking about a time when the internet didn’t exist. Your points are valid but so are the other person’s who are focusing on more recent data.
With the Internet there’s all the more reasons why people will remember it for longer.
We need to realize that the scale might be different, but disinformation and propaganda in mass media was very much a thing a hundred years ago!
Problem is all those that could remember are dead.
