(14,087 posts)kids, all the way from high school to 30-somethings, are picking up on their dads' and their dad's friends egomaniacal hate. The GOP has made sociopathy all the rage. It's tough, masculine, and oh so cool to spew the racist bullshit.
For many years I had hoped that the days of racism would die with the generations that didn't grow up with integration. That hope, along with many other liberal hopes I once had, have died. This new world of corporate authoritarian sociopathic rule, different sets of law enforcement for the different classes, media and press putting out 24/7 propaganda, and complete disregard for the constitution has really gotten me beaten down in the "hope" department.
President Obama PROPOSING chained CPI had the effect of finally pushing me over the edge. I realized then...THERE IS NO HOPE.
