Do boomers genuinely not remember what it was like when they were younger? Decent paying jobs, affordable houses, no joggers stealing cars and shooting people left and right, any old video or picture of America even just 50 years ago is like a whole different country. If you point any of the obvious, multi-faceted steep declines in living standards out to them, they puff up, get defensive. “AMERICA IS STILL THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD RA RA!!’’ or “YOU SOUND LIKE A DAMN COMMIE WITH THIS KIND OF TALK SONNY!”.
Has the teevee successfully rotted their brains to such a degree they think it’s always been this way? Or is it a defense mechanism to avoid facing the harsh reality that the society and country they were born into is nothing more than a faded memory?
