I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

    This one hit close to home. I literally just talked about this here, where I was worried about libs ‘letting red states secede’ to own the right.

    And I did the same thing for boomers. Seems like I need to introspect more. I’ve been making progress, considering I grew up in a fundamentalist, far right household, but I clearly have a ways to go.

    Anyway, thanks for this. Of all the criticism I saw, yours resonated with me the most.

      Great attitude comrade, I’m glad you found my comment helpful. I saw your red states post the other day and I thought it was insightful. I was thinking of it when I replied

      The impulse of the thought is normal, but yeah, its a wrong thought that we should try to catch and fight against.

        I’m going to strive to do better going forward. Venting my frustrations out on an entire generation is childish and unproductive. Glad folks here helped set me straight.
