        BTW, my entire life I’d hear older cons bitch about FDR because even more than Carter, the cons hate the guy.

        But they don’t seem to realize that FDR was the motherfucking compromise. But these cons are the types that, if they were still alive today would be full magoff and supporting donvict and fElon doing their worst to our institutions, including cutting off social security, medicare and medicaid and kidnapping people and sending them to gulags in other countries, just like I’m sure they would have loved the fascist coup attempt (Business Plot) succeeding back in 1933.

        Ahhh ok, just curious. Yeah, Ronnie Raygun’s people brought in whole new levels of destruction.

        I just didn’t understand the “born after” part. I watch older movies like The Graduate or read older books like Catcher in the Rye and get the sense that much older genrations felt lied to as well…and I know I as a Gen Xer felt that I had parts of the establishment lying to me.
