I bet you'd get a similar answer from Millenials

As a millennial everything went to shit the day I was born.

My personal take is that there were three times the US took a giant wrong turn.

LBJ taking Vietnam from a small war to a massive one. He couldn't win, and it opened the door for Nixon to come in.

Reagan elected.

War on Terror.

Trump is the result of those three...

So when do you see that the hammer dropped?

Nah man, Regan cut the brake lines years before I was born.

I’m finding a sick sort of comfort in reading about the bush administration and how horrible I didn’t realize it was. A guy named scooter revealed a CIA asset out of spite because her husband disagreed with the Iraq War. What a shitshow.

Aaah fitzmas eve and the lack of any consequences whatsoever.

'92 here and everything was pretty good until my late 20's/early 30's.
Everything should have been great; my career was taking off, I'd just started a family, we were looking at buying our first house... And then everything went to shit. Inflation, wage stagnation, house prices tripling in my area. Fuck boomers, fuck billionaires, fuck landlords and fuck my government for letting this happen.

Leftist millennials: "this is what America has always been and we can stop it"

Bush was elected when I was 20 so... That tracks.

I grew up in conservatopia. IT has ALWAYS sucked, especially as I didn't have a "traditional" sexuality. I also had more feminine mannerisms because guess what, growing up in a house with 3 women you'll learn to do that.
