I saw a video recently where they asked students on a college campus “Who won the civil war” and similar questions.
The % of people who will get the Vichy reference is sub-1%. We might as well be old rabbis exchanging scripture verses in the Warsaw Ghetto. Going extinct soon.
And even the 5 year old knows to Google 'Vichy' if he doesn't understand it.
Defeatism sucks.

“Who won the civil war”
Student: Is this a trick question?
“We might as well be old rabbis exchanging scripture verses in the Warsaw Ghetto. Going extinct soon.”
Along with honor, bravery, and patriotism.
Apparently, the GOP in D.C. has been bought off. If they weren’t for sale(a few), they were blackmailed.
I fear you are right.
The Liberals have marched in triumph and nearly unopposed in the schools at all levels, the media, government, and culture for over 40 years. The younger generation mostly only knows what it sees now and that with which it has personal experience - and that is not a free, open, reasonably just, honorable society with liberty and personal freedom except that of the most libertine sort. Our entire nation has been dumbed down to the basest level.
It will take a great revival to turn it all around.
“The % of people who will get the Vichy reference is sub-1%.”
I got the reference right away, and very apt - comparing Boehner to some limp-wristed fashion designer. /s
