America's current situation is just chickens from the '80s coming home to roost

26. I do see the reality of what was going on in the world in the eighties.

I saw the entire American and world war against humanity on all fronts continuing at a more fierce and faster pace in history since world war 2 from what I have learned from it from both reading and personal accounts from those involved in it or are children of those involved. In absolute truth however this was going on before the 80's it is just that the pace picked up with particularly Reagan.

I am the age that lived through the music and movie scenes from the 80's and I enjoyed. It was the only escape that was there for some of us. The music did have meaning to it about what was going on and I think the 80's music was a lot more blunt about what was going on politically. It did not have the soft sad sound of the 70's flower child protests ( not that that music wasn't good. ) The 80's music was hard and to the point and that is what turned most people off from it. A good deal of the music also made one more aware of what was going on at the time. The 80's was also a mixture of different kinds of music. I learned to like all kinds of music because of the 80's. If you name a type I more than likely familiar with some of it at least.

Yes, the movies were ridiculous but if you really think about it so are movies from any generation. The only thing that has truly changed for movies is the technology. Most of the movies had a point to them as far as what was going on in the world in some fashion or another.

As I said, I was in no way blind to what was going on and was concerned except I was to young to do anything about it. I was trying to survive and move on from an abusive father ( in all ways that abuse can be done ) after my mother turned him in. I also had learning disabilities to deal with that the Reagan era tried to take any help for away. We had a couple of breathing years with Clinton and Obama but the damning of our country was already in a deteriorating downfall.

I am scared that trump is going to finish Reagan's vision but at a much more vicious and damning level.
