Reply #41: I have a vague impression of the 1984 election (I was 5). [View All]

Just a sense of discovering that the values me and my parents had weren't represented by the government. And I think I recall some signs getting taken out of our front yard by our neighbors.

I have some memories of '88. That was when my mother explained to me what an alcoholic is, and what the difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is (something along the lines of, "Uh, Republicans are the people who just did this...which is why we might be moving to Canada").
