Who knew white supremacy would be a world wide scourge in the 21st century? I really thought we were getting past all this shit coming of age in the 1990s...
Same. I truly thought Republicans were on deaths door. I wish there were more xennials we could have made a difference
As a fellow Xennial, I resonate with this so much.
I don't know about you but I always have felt isolated in everything, I know that's a gen x thing to say, but when you look at movies music for people our age, 48 leading the way There's not a lot of 47-52 year olds out there representing us.
Like when we can get together and unite i think we're successful but there are so few of us 77-82 it just doesn't happen anymore and we have been divided now.
Like we grew up with the reality of the aids epidemic but our schools were still successful and I think we were the last ones to have good public schools before Regan and his policies destroyed what was still working.
Like believe it or not despite her being being a complete racist piece of shit. A lot of my morals came from the Roseanne show. My parents were never home. My dad tried to push church on me but I always saw the church crowd as hypocrits and have never went back
We Gen-X saw both a broken world but had hope of change (a lot of it was misleading, but we didn't know then). You had that same hope, but saw problems on the horizon. Millennials were the first to see the hope was more propaganda and gaslighting than anything, and Gen Z... yeah, I feel bad for you guys, what a mess you grew into.
I.e., it was always messed up, they just were able to lie better back then. Now they're not even trying, they just shrug and laugh.
another gen-xer here. What haunts me a tad is that we are such a quiet generational cohort that we risk not even existing in future historical anlyses of the decline of the US. We may just get lumped in with the boomers. I do feel like we were much different than them, but we never got anything done, or led anything. There was always this feeling that we'd get our chance when the boomers faded out of the picture and they just never did. I suppose we had to fight for it and we didnt (enough), or something.
If you Google prominent gen-X politicians a list of republicans come up starting with vance. No dems on the list. Then ask again for prominent genX politicians on the left and you get cory booker, Gavin Newsom, and Beto Orourke. Its like my whole generation never existed.
I don't think we were ever designed to lead. We basically learned to survive on our own and grew to like being alone with no rules or schedule
I think the extremely young millennials and the old gen z helped create this right wing bullshit but it's partly because we failed in teaching them we were just to busy trying to survive
They were new meat, ignorant thanks to failing schools and parents, and the conservative echo chamber was right there to give them something to grab onto, just like the Boomers designed it to do.
I'm most upset at my fellow Gen-Xs. My first taste of Facebook long ago showed me how so many of them completely went stupid. I knew these people, and yet some of the shit I saw them post. So it's the Boomers' fault, but damn, we dropped the balls too.
I get it completely. I have always felt as if we're supposed to just shut up and take it, by our Boomer parents, our GenX elder siblings, etc. But as far as I'm concerned at this point in my life, they can all screw off. They have knowingly turned America into a shit hole and have the audacity to blame everyone else, including the younger generations. They were handed peace on a silver platter by their parents who fought and died in WWII. And they squandered it because of their macho ego.

All through out Obama's tenure everyone told me the GOP's railing against Obama was the death woes of a dying party.
How I wish that was true

I'd start reading some better history books. After purchasing a firearm of course. They never went away.
The 90s sucked ass for a lot of people, but the culture of the time, as presented through a bunch of media, children's shows, movies, and random TV, was pushing the message that we could do better. That we owed it to each other to do better.
And then Fox news started ramping up, then 9/11 hit and everyone lost their god damn minds.
9/11 was the single most successful act of war/terrorism in human history, bin Laden succeeded in ways I’m sure he never imagined.
I'm conflicted in that theory as time goes on. Prior to 2020, I would have agreed with you entirely.
Now, I'm not so sure. He fought against the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, defense is and easy thing to understand. His goals with the US are much less clear to me. If it was to merely punish the entirety of US citizens and weaken US international influence, I say yes, easily.
But that doesn't make sense, as it has been confirmed that the US provided military training directly to bin Laden but military aid was not sent directly to his militia and funneled through Pakistan. I dont know enough about the guy, but it is quite possible that he was entirely unaware of the indirect nature of the aid to him. So he just could have been retaliating for the perception that the U.S. gave him training and abandoned him.

You're kinda right, but the problem was that a lot of mainstream liberals' idea of doing better meant just forgetting what people like CIA Director George HW Bush had done and instead focusing on how people like Sister Souljah were actually the real problem now
We live in a cynically amoral time where there seems to be no philosophical or political objective except to hurt people. People are only just now coming around to understand how dangerous it is, at least economically, but it might be too late. This is how empires fall.

We were susceptible to it, and Russia has taken advantage of that big time.

Fascist government sending their secret police after its political opponents.
Not very secret,but yes
Intimidation tactics
Desperation tactics
“Guten tag, Frauline. Are you harboring any enemies of the state?”
*Guten Tag, Fräulein.
Tag (day) is a noun and nouns always get capitalized in German.
ä is an Umlaut and the dots are important, cause the word would be pronounced frouw-line and not froi-line otherwise.
Also its lein not line, but it's pronounced line.

Weaponization of the government in full fascist fashion.
If the centrist Democrats don't investigate this overt and obvious abuse of power by the Trump administration if we vote them back in...
...we kill the fucking lot of them?

Hey look! Blatant fascist sham political investigations! Neat!
Another check down on the "Road to Nazi Germany" check list!
I know it "started" awhile ago. But "my Rubicon" was AoC, Omar, Summer Lee, ect, getting arrested.
Oh, so America is okay with deep investigations into prominent immigrants, to ensure there were no mistakes made?
Cool. Hope Elon Musk is okay with being raided and investigated. If he lied on his immigration paperwork, his citizenship should be stripped and him deported
I’m afraid this is much worse than that. This was a criminal warrant and HSI raid on a sitting congresswoman’s DC home less than three weeks before her bid for re-election.
In the past, the DOJ has observed a “no action within 90 days of the election” rule so as not to appear partisan
It’s actually how everyone knows this is total bullshit and made up. No only is she clearly a Trump opponent and one of the leftmost senators in Congress today, but they’re sending in Homeland Security (the bullshit autho “policing” agency created after everyone was scared of 9/11) with very little time left in the election cycle. This is some shit that Erdogan would pull!
This has never happened in United States history.

Now remember everyone don’t call them fascist or nazis. Because that will hurt their little pedo protector feelings.

There’s no way this is a tyrant using government agencies to persecute his enemies. That could neeeeeevvvvver happen here. That’s why we’re Great Again™️.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. This administration is a struggle between evil and stupidity and sometimes both win.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin last month cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was examining potential fraud in her family’s immigration paperwork. “Something’s going to happen,” he said in a potential foreshadowing of the search.
Just run of the mill racism.
Fraudulent immigration papers you say, hmmmm. Considering other notable examples of this, I say she's either going to be the next FLOTUS or a trillionaire (multibillionaire).
100% of reporters should ask “Did you find the Epstein files?” Over and over and over and over again
My spidy sense is tingling.
More fascism.
If you want fascism to stop, the solution is simple. Vote in the manner most likely to prevent them from having power.
If you don't use this method soon, you will not have to worry about voting ever again.
