As an early "boomer", I have not been this frightened

41. Not really..LOL

We had better music and that's about it!

We really need to get serious about RW domestic terrorism. It started with McVeigh and it really hasn't been taken care of. It seems like every time, the government tries to get on top of these things, there is tremendous push back.

As you can see, a few elected officials were at the Capitol...the Republican Attorney Generals Association (States) sponsored the rally and splinter group from RAGA made robocalls and told rally participants to march to the capitol. When you have stuff like, it is hard to control.

The late 50s and early 60s had alot of race problems. The late 60s/early 70s had wars and some not so nice war demonstrations (bombings at University of Wisconsin). As a matter of fact a group called the Weather Underground were a Left wing Domestic Terrorism Group that planted bombs.

The late 70s were good times. Pretty carefree and disco was fun. It all ended when Reagan was elected.

When I was a young adult, all the crazy stuff from the 70s made me a little conservative. I was also pro math, pro space program, which was conservative. I voted for Ford in 1976. However, in 1980, I voted for carter because I was "woke"...Been a Dem ever since. I consider myself someone who just "wants our government to work"..So far no Republican has offered that platform in the last 45 years.
