It’s extremely difficult to stay inspired and motivated when life keeps throwing shit your way. I completely get that. We all thought the Obama years were the beginning of our journey out of the tunnel, and then Trump caved it in. And while it’ll take years of pain and hard work to dig ourselves out, the light is…

We really shouldn’t be fighting about this. Instead we should be focusing on the real enemy, and we both know who that is.

Well, I can only speak for me; but I used to be a selfish, greedy scoundrel. Experience, observation, and study have made me more selfless, compassionate, understanding, and driven to make the world a better place. I’ve noticed for a lot of people in the older generations, the reverse happened: they started out…

So you’re saying it’s possible that he’s actually a wonderful humanitarian? Because the whole conceit of an opinion is that it could be wrong.

There’s that too! Not to mention a third of the US used to be Mexico. Oy.

No judgment here, I’ve done the same.

This isn’t an opinion. It’s established fact.

What do you recommend then?

Well, consider me and many other Millennials your reinforcements :-)

I think the problem is while many Gen Xers were activists, a bunch more followed the Alex Keaton life model.

I had absolutely no real-world guidance whatsoever. I was literally raised by television, movies, books, and comic books. Everything I’ve learned in order to function in reality, I learned the hard way. I love stories in general, and history was always my favorite subject in school, so I chose it for my degree. And…

They meant Trump voters look lazy; not immigrants.

And her ratings are abysmal.

I’ve been thinking about those racist antiimmigrant people who are all like “you wouldn’t let a stranger in your house, would you?” and finally came up with what I think is a decent answer:

Right now I work in the offices of a food manufacturing company, but I have a degree in History.

Not all Boomers are evil, we do get that. But the vast majority of them clearly don’t give a rat’s ass about the rest of us, otherwise Donald would still be NBC’s problem as opposed to the main driving force of global devastation.

An old-timey word for two weeks, I think.
