==Summary==
There are aspects of the 1920 election that look oddly familiar to us. For instance, the slogan 'America First' was also then used as a key Republican slogan. It was the Democrats who were portrayed as the party that created chaos, and the Republicans were successful in portraying themselves as the part of normalcy. Similar tensions on healthcare, lingering effects of a major pandemic, race riots, and economic decline would also be familiar to us, while fake news accusations were common, including in the new medium of radio. Perhaps the biggest difference was women having the right to vote for the first time and ultimately the election ushered the beginning of what emerged as the Roaring Twenties.
