You get to a certain age and you are fairly certain you have seen it all. For example, I have already witnessed a man walk on the moon, a president resign, America lose a war, the space shuttle explode, the Soviet Union collapse, a president impeached, a tied presidential race, the Twin Towers fall, and a billionaire real estate magnate elected president without a lick of political or military experience. But who would have thought we would live to see the day a Donald Trump could kill off the 1960s?
That is exactly what has happened over the last ten days — Trump killed off the 1960s. Not the worst of it. The social horrors birthed in the ’60s; the fallout that never ends with drug abuse, the welfare state, and loveless sex will always be with us. You can never put evil back in the bottle.
The good things that came out of the ’60s — Trump killed almost all of that.
What have we learned over the last ten days?
Oh, only that the Obama administration launched a counter-intelligence operation against a rival presidential campaign complete with spies, wiretaps, unprecedented unmasking, media leaks, and FISA warrants based on lies.

I was never a hippie in the 60s. I had a job, married, and a house. All acquired by myself and husband I am not need. My husband served his country for your freedom. It distrubed our lives while he serving. We could have cared less about pot and Woodstock. We are retired now enjoying our final stage of life. Please do not blame everyone for your failures.

ReplyDeleteYour husband fought in a banker's war for profit.
Sorry for his service and ignorance.
None of us are free.
God bless you.

The era of the unquestioning ’50s was finally over. But now, because of Trump, all of that has vanished. The hippies have become the squares, the round haircuts, the unquestioning white bread, middle class, Ward Cleaver 50s dads who blindly salute their G-Men.
So, it sounds like you were one of the above. Regardless, I have no idea what you are trying to say, especially about blaming everyone for failures. What failures? Whose failures?
It probably doesn't matter anyway. You sound bitter. Your comment reeks of someone feeling they are better than others. Enjoy your retirement. I don't know what else to say to someone like you, so I won't.
