& Baby Boomers helped to give us the crap, coarse culture we have. Even the ones who were not a part of the madness let the other side win & take over the institutions of culture and education - they lost the culture war.
The WWII generation also gave us no fault divorce and the permanent welfare state. Thanks guys.
The Boomers didn’t really start coming in to play until the eighties, from the beginning they slowed down the worst of the leftist excesses of their parents.
The real political hell period that destroyed America and it’s institutional strength, happened from about the mid 1930s to the mid 1970s, since then the damage has slowed and occasionally been reversed as in the second amendment.
