I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don’t. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

      Why, because they’re not terribly torn up over people getting what they’ve voted for all their adult lives?

        I think the Red Sails essay by Roderic Day is especially important to keep in mind in these situations. There are arguments that the generation has been propagandized to hell from birth, but there needs to be a buy in for it to actually be effective. There needs to be at least something they want to fuck over, someone to conveniently scapegoat that won’t force them to look at their own failings.
