Personally, I’ve always been concerned about corrupt leaders coopting the inevitable wave of power coming to the millennials as the boomers faded away. I didn’t want to become like the previous generation, so I’ve paid extra attention to resisting being convinced to hate “out” groups. Only, the power never transitioned. Egg on my face, I guess.

Hey you never know. It’s probably a good idea for everyone to maintain vigilant like you do, just in case.
Even as a child I knew the older generation was fucking everything up. I kept waiting for them to disappear but they never have…
It’s only as I have grown older that I understand that these terrible people just get replaced with more and sometimes worse people…
