They haven’t all given up, but it is true that many aren’t as aggressive as they were decades ago. They might not have as much to lose but a 76yo coming in hot against a Proud Boy in an ICE uniform is not going to achieve much. I live down the block from a semi-assisted retirement complex where it’s an all out war between the widows and widowers. The ladies have 8647 banners from their balconies and the dudes have “Chillin’ like a felon”. I sometimes help with the community garden and my favorite little old lady is the one with a tshirt with a uterus on it that says “It may be dried up but keep your hands off”. I know a lot of them spend time doing charitable volunteer work and activism. I imagine if shit gets really bad we can talk them into planting IEDs. Nobody expects the grannies.
