Reply #62: I was a bit young during Nixon [View All]

[OnionPatch]

and had a Republican father who thought he was great, so I pretty much bypassed that whole trauma, but Reagan....it was bad. I worked in a steel mill and watched my hometown turn into a slum zone under Reaganomics. Still, I was young and hopeful. Bush is certainly the worst, ever. It's depressing because I thought by now we would have evolved past all this right-wing bullshit. Money walks, I guess and it's walked right into the 21st century and taken control. Still, I have hope. I do what I can to change things and then live my life and try to be happy. Bad times come and go, people live through them all the time. If I go to my grave before the fight against fascism is over, well, I'll be proud that I fought for what was right when I was here. We live in "interesting" times. Be proud you're on the right side of the fight but live your life and be happy for what you have. Otherwise, you've let them win.
