Those "old people" have memories of being children whose families were coming out of the Great Depression, who entered into and experienced World War II's effects and consequences on their childhood years, Korea's impact on their college-age years, and, just as they had established some "beginnings" of stability for their future, politicians involved their nation in yet another "conflict," otherwise known as a "police action."

To go on would be futile, for the cultish, oppressive and totalitarian Progressive ideology insidiously became dominant in every aspect of their lives and dulled their senses, for a time, to the enormous loss of freedom, opportunity and "pursuit of happiness" which that grievous ideology had imposed upon them.

Suddenly, in their older years, a reactionary named Trump began to rattle the cage of the Progressive overlords, and that strongest of all generations, the one which even a real Progressive had tagged, "the greatest generation," began to awaken, as did their children and grandchildren.

As those generations awoke, prayed and heeded the cautions and warnings of America's Founders and early Justices and Presidents, something began to happen which may, perhaps, lead to a rediscovery of the ideas of liberty and individual freedom from an ideology that binds the minds of both youth and age.

Credit that, not to a great philosopher or well-known historian of American history, but to a disrupter of the status quo, a reactionary who understands, as did James Madison (known as the "Father" of the Constitution) and the Framers of our Constitution that power lodged in the hands of imperfect persons in government is dangerous to liberty.
