The idea
Demobilization brought the flu pandemic, economic trouble and fear of Bolshevik revolution: the Red Scare restricted radical dissent. Race riots in the Red Summer of nineteen nineteen killed over two hundred fifty people.
In practice
Harding's landslide of nineteen twenty on a return to normalcy.
Where people slip
Voters wanted low taxes, less Progressivism and less foreign involvement, a break from years of mandates and war.
