Important to remember now and TALK ABOUT in run up to November...

[Moostache]

The GOP once attacked JFK as "weak on communism".
Today's GOP gets weak in the knees FOR Putin, who pines for a return of the USSR.

This switch in alliegence is really jarring to the this former Gen-X kid who remembers the early 1980's and the assumption that any day would be WWIII and nuclear war.

The Day After? Yeah, that fucked me up as a 12-year old worried that I would be vaporized by the USSR's missles...where the fuck is Gen X at now? I know we collectively get tarred with the apathetic brush (always have) but for fuck's sake people...I did not grow up in a vacuum, did I? There must be SOME collective memory of Reagan and the GOP war-mongering and trying to show how much MORE one hated commies than thee next?

1. I'm with ya on this

I think I was 10 when it aired on t.v.

To me? The Russians have always been the bad guys.

What concerns me is GOP Politicians and Talking Heads in our Age group -

Who are trying to gaslight us.

We know - you and me - WE KNOW.
