Trump was memed into office by 4chan the first time. This is not a generational thing we can blame boomers on.
Deluding yourself into thinking that millennials and zoomers can't also be just as fascist is 100% copium.
Oh I'm not suggesting that this election we are done with the fascists, the racists and the idiots. Unfortunately those are way to baked into human psychology.... We will always have those members of our society.
What I'm hoping is that enough people will say at this point in time, our daughters have bodily autonomy. Kids don't have to worry about food at school. We all have the freedom to choose to be who we want to be. That, January 6 was an isolated event spurred by the ramblings of a man who a large part of society is finally rejecting. And all of those J6ers, are traitors.
I'm suggesting that we want to elect officials that want to keep the department of education. Want to keep NOAA. We want to be members of the greater world.
We want to elect forward looking politicians.
Is that copium? Eh probably. Is that a naive way to look at modern politics? Probably.
But that doesn't mean we have to lose hope.
