It completely blows my mind that the "silent" generation is so full of liberals... One of the last generations that resisted integration and in my experience "one" of the most racist groups of people I have ever known..
Are they just so used to believing the media that they still trust everything they are told? Hell. I can remember as a young padawan watching the likes of Tom Brokaw, Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather... etc. back when they "reported" the news vs twisting and putting a spin on it like media personalities are doing today. Yeah they still had their political ideologies, but for the most part what they reported was facts as they were presented to them.
Truth!!!! So glad I don't live in a more "diverse" city/state....
Haven't had a chance to dive into the locker situation yet. Sometimes life cooperates and some times it just doesn't give a shit what you "want" to get done.
Turns out, my next door neighbor went to our local no kings rally. We're conservative baptist, she's liberal, unsure if any religious affiliation, with a gay son & straight daughter. My neighbor gets out of the car with her sisters, all 3 in their mid 60s. POd at everything!!! You would think you'd come home happy & fulfilled, knowing you did some good in the world. I mean, that's why we believe in the things we believe in, right? Nope, screeching brakes, slamming car doors, slapping the roof of the car while talking, language, etc. It was actually funny, but she's a good neighbor
Time and money man .... One very sad thing to remember , Colorado wasn't always a diverse state , wingnuts from CA and back east moved here with their fruity ideas. I've heard that the same thing is happening to ID. , MT , and parts of WY. , give it time .
