    If you were born after like 1980 it’s been pretty apparent that we were all fucking lied to. Go to school, be a good person, try hard, go to college and then you’ll be set for life. What a fucking joke.

        Why 1980?

        Because Reagan is largely pointed to as the most accelerative element leading to the fallout which we are dealing with today.

        I’d argue it’s pretty much everything after FDR swapped his VP Henry Wallace (who wanted to pass civil rights legislation in the 1940s) for Harry Truman (who instead dropped nukes on Japan) and has been downhill ever since… but there’s a lot of room for nuance.
