We;re talking about a generation that not only shittified politics to a point that seems beyoind repair..but also did their level best to kill the entire planet, dead..while saddling yours truly with the work of fixing every single fuckup...all the while complaining that I wont back their horses.
So..you know, spare me the lecture on civics..pops.
Yeah, I agree with the bolded. Sorry about that. Funny how so many of us felt our generation would be special. Who knew it would be for all the wrong reasons. But while I agree my bunch suck, I don't think the generation before was any where near the 'greatest'. Not only did they create us but so many were mired in uptight, role-driven life styles which demanded rebellion.
It would be nice to see the place improve while I'm still able to follow current events. That's probably why I get as pissed off as I do when it seems people won't do the little things that could help improve our mess so that we didn't have to leave you as big a shit mess as we have. But it does just seem to spiral worse all the time, especially under Trump.
I don't agree that things were so awful under Obama. Remember that politics is the art of the possible. Keep in mind who lives here with us, if we're exceptional it is mostly for the wrong reasons. For that matter I don't think Billy Can't-keep-his-disck-in-his-pants Clinton was so bad either. Who knew that moving the democratic party to the center would drive the conservatives into the looney bin? On the surface it looked promising.
