me too very thankful my pups come up and make me go have snuggle time when I'm about to explode killing me to watch everything we worked years for torn apart so quickly these numbnutz don't know what the 60's were really like yeah good music yadda coat hangers in back ally, nooses and on and on
Child of 60s YA of 70s Idealistically thought the world was evolving into a cultural golden age of equality and justice. What a fool i was
We know though, we can do it.
I'm of 10 yrs earlier. I thought the 'phobes would die out, or see that what they called "permissiveness" was just freedom, and did them no harm and minorities much good. But it seems they bided their time, gathered their forces and allied with the worst of the worst - at least in the USA, so far.
Me too. It turned out not as promised. Regan, Putin ? What happened to our world utopia ? Things could be going a lot better.
Well Reagan happened. That piece of garbage can rot in hell.
I am a 70ish female who comes from military family. Lived around the world. Seen a lot, saw the Berlin Wall come down and never thought I would. I’m educated, spoke up, but nothing has prepared me for the feeling of being let down by so many. I’m ready to take up arms and I don’t like that.
Yes. Thought after all our "peace and love" things were going to keep getting better. ☹️We must be ever vigilant.
We were let down by our own gender. Every woman who voted for trump voted against women's rights. Their idolatry of the orange one has subjected women in particular and the country in general to a tale of woe. I'm ready to join you.
Agreed
I'm outraged. This is not us. I reject this president.
Yep. That's the way things appeared to go then. Great times with even greater expectations. What we overlooked: The ignorant keep coming. But so also do the stupid and the bandits. And the education sytem in place couldn't keep up with the onslaught.
That's because, we play by the rules, norms, with a focus on empathy -- all of which takes time and care to navigate. And their side doesn't even know what I just wrote. And it all gets destroyed with a match.
I have always been a pacifist, but more & more find myself wishing for violent ends for many. I've watched videos on how to punch people, readying myself for the day I encounter a racist, transphobe or misogynist in public. We need to actively confront these ignorant entitled colonialists.
In the south they say Some people just need killin’. I wouldn’t hurt a fly but I did applaud Luigi
A bit older, I also thought things were getting better. I was so fucking stupid. I voted, I spoke up, but I truly thought the guard rails would hold us. What a fucking ass I am. Im getting more ornery, swearing more, sleeping less these days.
Yeah me too. Tho it’s harder to get outta bed
Oh, yes! I feel this all the time 😭

Found this today. Dusting off my protest songs
I thought, “How lucky my kids are! Things have progressed so much,” only to see it all being torn away from the grandchildren.
Same.
Apparently all of us idealists were fools. Still hard to believe so many awful humans live amongst us.
My late father, who was much smarter than me, told me about 20 years ago there would be another civil war one day. I told him he was crazy and that we'd moved far beyond that. I was a fool, too.
I’m right there with you.
You are not alone.
Yes, same here.
Believing in what is right does not make you a fool. Believing in someone like trump, makes you a fool.
It’s been a tough realization..
80’s here, and same. I thought racism was dying with my parents’ generation. It’s so, so, so much worse now.
10 years behind you and same
Same here
Please listen & share my song, I wrote. I really want to see this world brought back together. I can't believe they're allowing this criminal takeover! My pinned post explains how trump is stealing our beautiful country! Why have we allowed this gaslighting to get so far? youtu.be/EHwLtik3v3M?...
Keeps those pups safe from the new Homeland Security chief!
