I think it's people wistfully conflating their idyllic childhood/adolescence years with no worries/responsibilities with what they (incorrectly) remember as a time when all was hunky dory in the world. Now that they've grown up, they attribute their adult concerns to the negative perceptions about the government and America's status in the world. They're forgetting, of course, that adults in the 50's were doing duck-and-cover drills because of the Soviet menace, racism was rampant, and kids caught polio.
