"I feel the need to explain something to the generation that does not remember, or never saw, a world where one person with a high school education could support a family of 5 comfortably.

"This was real. For millions of US families. It was *normal.*

"It was stolen from you."

@AlgoCompSynth American voters, white voters, robbed themselves so they could express their hatred of Black people.

@vy They had help. Their parents were bombarded with corporatist propaganda that was mass-injected into their homes when they were growing up.

@AlgoCompSynth "it was taken from you" makes it seem like people didn't make choices. And thinking of Jim Crow/Cold War as the good old days is really reactionary.

@vy Yeah ... I wish I could get my hands on the fuckers that told LBJ we could beat the Viet Cong and maybe the Pathet Lao too. And the fuckers who pushed Nixon to make a treasonous deal with the Vietnam peace talks delegation.

I can only imagine the kind of deals Trump made, considering how bad the ones are that we know about.
