“I think many of these boomers grew up hiding under desks in nuke drills and can’t get away from that mindset.”
I agree with you. I just had my annual “Father’s Day” phone call with dear old boomer dad who has never missed an episode of “Fox and Friends” or Hannity. (I might make it every two years going forward)
He informs me he wakes up every day hoping Putin is dead. Ukraine is of course winning, by a mile. And he’s proudly ignorant of never having heard of Minsk II, the nucleus of the entire conflict. Furthermore, he refuses to know what it is in some bizarre civic duty.
There is nothing at all patriotic about being stupid.
Yes. For a large group of people, “Russia Bad! Putin Very Bad!” is their mantra.
I don’t get it.
