Dystopian novel about the takeover of America by teen hippies who send everyone who ages out to LSD camps when they reach their 30th birthday?

Far out, man. Great retirement village you got here.

talks with people. Those two things are:

1. Our government is corrupt as hell and only works for the corporations and one percent.
2. The media is nothing but propaganda and lies.

In fact, I was talking to two elderly retired FBI personnel a couple of months back and they told me that they never listen to any of the media b/c they know it can't be trusted. Dick Van Dyke came out and said the cable media was nothing but propaganda.

And I talked to people of all races and all ages. I've never seen anything like this.
