Why is this country going to shit as soon as we become adults 😭
@__ISB If every single person your age voted in their best interests, in every election, it wouldn't be going to shit. If we show up we win.
@__ISB No. When I became an adult we worked hard to make this a better place. Sometimes we took a few steps back, e.g., Reagan, but we kept working at it. Out culmination, and perhaps our downfall, was electing Barack Obama president.
@__ISB Worse when I was your age. Women couldn't be doctors, wear pants to work, earned 50% less than men, not allowed to have a credit card, get a mortgage/loan, hold mgt positions, buy birth control unless married, unwed mothers shunned by society, 2 WWars, Great Depression, etc.
@__ISB The "going to shit" process started in 1968, when Richard Nixon ran for POTUS by courting and empowering southern conservatives. The "going to shit" process accelerated in 1980, when Ronald Reagan tethered himself to, and empowered, the "religious right" while running for POTUS.
@__ISB Hopefully y’all are smarter than us and you decide to get out of here. The writing is on the walls America’s time is up.
@__ISB Straight up propaganda. GOP spent years and money convincing voters a clump of cells is a heartbeat before the heart is even formed and more guns will reduce gun violence.
@__ISB I was saying this in 2010, Now it's worse than Sh*t, straight going down the Drain lol
@__ISB It’s our test of resilience and adulthood to reverse the current trend.
