Tories/LePen lost, Trump/Meloni won.

This chart is what you need.
1820 is in a dip between 1800-1850 but even so from 1820 it shows an 80% reduction in conflict deaths from 5 per 100k to 0.5 (from 1800 or 1850 as a start year it'd show a 98% reduction from 30 per 100k to 0.5).
Conflict deaths are lower today than any year after 1400.

No, they still have it better than they did 40-50 years ago. Real Median Incomes are up 30%, and spending on essentials (food, clothing and *housing*) are down about 5-10% from 75-85, increasing disposable income.
Homeownership is also flat over that scale (0% change from 75 and 0.5% up since 85).
