Forty-four men have succeeded Washington so far. Some became titans; others finished their terms without distinction; a few ended their service to the nation in ignominy. But each of them knew that the day would come when it would be their duty and honor to return the presidency to the people.
All but one, that is.
i don’t think that the system and country was that fragile, it did required decades of propaganda from the far right to get to the point it is now
thanks, once again, to the boomers
Don’t discount the other generations culpability in this though. Conservatives aren’t a problem we can simply wait out. Newer generations are doing slightly better but even among GenZ there are many who would agree with the current system if it were more in their favor instead of the boomers. Education and propaganda are getting worse, GenZ identifies more religious than Millenials, disinformation keeps getting more and more widespread in a social media ecosystem that has - for younger generations - for better, but also for worse, largely replaced the news.
