(15,435 posts)down somewhere in my soul that "SOME THING'S" gonna happen. As a Boomer I had similar feelings way back then BEFORE we rose up and made our voices heard.
This country is at a tipping point and everywhere I look I'm seeing signs of unrest from older people right down to the ones who are making louder and louder noises. THE MILLENNIALS! There are THREE in my immediate family and as I listen to them talk and interact with them, they aren't like the young people who supported Obama and got out and worked for him. They're more jaded and I think MORE fed up and are unwilling to buy the same old crap.
It's kind of like I was way back when. Could I be imagining this? I suppose so, but something in my gut says what I'm feeling is going to have results. ENOUGH is ENOUGH, we say that here, but for them they might be thinking it's TIME to march, revolt or make our voices heard through our actions.
I'm seeing pockets of many people beginning to stand up and making a lot of noise.
IT COULD BE BERNIE who they will follow. I know what I'm hearing from my circle of younger kids and their friends. Nothing set in stone, but LOTS of angst and realization going on.
TIME WILL TELL!
