How the Democratic Party Establishment Suffocates Progressive Change

48. It might have to

The reason there are sometimes generational divides is due to how one comes to see the world as they mature. It is simply a fact that they way young people see the world right now is fundamentally different then the way older Americans do. Those people who grew up in the 60's, 70's, 80's knew a very different America then the one I grew up with. To them America is the same place as it was all those years ago, as time goes on and one moment casually interspersed into the next the differences merge into the back ground, small outbursts here and there, but in the end its all just fades into white noise.

Not only will they not help solve the problem, they don't even understand that a problem exists. To many what is actually happening this year is baffling. Some seem to think that this year is some weird el nino type event, that the stars just happened to align some certain way and after its over it'll never happen again, rather then face the fact things are like this for a reason and ignoring it will only make it that much worse. No argument no matter how eloquent or explicit can convince them to shift their perspectives. We don't admit defeat, but we can't take the ground today.

Looking at all the information points to an eventual end to the 40+ year long era that has brought the nation to its knees. Many factors have coalesced to support the rise of a massive extremely liberal cohort, which will put the nation back on its feat again. It'll be a huge effort, we'll need to correct the mistakes of past generations and pay off their debts. The statistics say we aren't buying homes or cars like earlier generations, that we aren't getting married or having kids because we can't afford to, that we won't make as much money or live as long or be as happy as our parents were, but its ok. Its going to be us who saves the dying oceans, its going to be us who pay back the 20 trillion debt, its going to be us who fight the rampant social and economic injustices pervading our society, its going to be us who overthrow the oligarchs who have perverted the law and silenced the will of the people. We will do this, because if we don't nothing but ashes and ruins will remain.
