This crap makes me angry. When did we become such a country of pussies?

From what my dad tells me it began in the 1960’s and has devolved from then on. BTW, my dad is a Korean War and Vietnam War Vet with two Purple Hearts. One in each war.
He died recently and told me the proudest vote he ever cast was for Donald Trump.

When my generation (I was born in ‘87, so the end of Reagan’s term) reached voting age. I’m a Libertarian, but I tend to vote Republican in attempts to counter the hypermajority of Democrats here in IL.

My generation was a mixture of latch key kids and helicopter parents, on top of rapidly degrading anti-American curricula in schools, making most of my generation feel entitled to everything it wanted. Social media made it worse, by creating endless numbers of attention whores who were able to block and allow only messages with which they agreed, creating echo chambers.

Yep. I’m not one of those, but my friends from high school? God. It’s depressing. Even the one with a PhD in History is a commie pinko. How that happened, I have NO clue.
