it was later mellinials in 2015, now it's late gen z, the kids grew older, the kids grew older. Also Trump being back
These young gen Z MAGA dorks aren't old enough to really remember trump #1 and that is enough to hurt my head.
Time is a fuck and this is why we don't ever make a lot of progress. Young people become politically aware and want to try to fight the system "their own way" but that usually just means the ineffectual methods the older generation(s) tried. But you can't tell them nothing so off they go with their pithy signs to the scheduled and permitted protest. They write their congresspeople, they share their memes...
And nothing happens. Nothing changes, not really. They get disillusioned and move on. Rinse and repeat
