I’m GenX. From the moment we understood nuclear weapons we went to bed each night with the possibility of never waking up. We had TV movies like The Day After to scare us.
Around the late 80’s and early 90’s the fear was gone.
When Trump was elected in 2016, and again last year, this low-level existential dread is back. It’s a weight on the shoulders that never goes away.
It feels familiar. But not good.
