For as cool and enlightening as many of the posts on here are, I had no idea the age group was older. I had lost faith in my own generation. 65 year old white female here.

Is it possible that the people haven't turned racist or tea party like? Could they have always been this way and we just didn't realize it? We do discuss politics much more nowadays then when we were young.

Definitely non-white races and the youth pulled us out of this mess! Cheers to them!
