She definitely is old enough to have lived through the 60s so that would have been the height if the Red Scare, Vietnam, Civil Rights Movement, etc. But she also does that thing that most libs these days will do and say she’s “about as liberal as they come” which I think meant something different in a time now passed.

The major frustrating part is that I am the local Democrat’s Club acting secretary(long story short, they needed someone that could use computers and I was friends with some of them already) but the rhetoric lately since we all live in a very red city in a very red state is “how can we get more people involved?” and every time I say they need to move more to the left. It just seems to fall on deaf ears. It’s like the have this unwritten understanding that everything is wrong about Capitalism except for the capitalism part.

I keep telling them, they need go to the 2 local colleges and help reboot the clubs there. Last night I even mentioned there is a new resurgence of Christian deconstruction that is ripe for the picking and they didn’t seem to care. And I know there is one because my wife is a Christian leftist. We’ve talked a lot about it. I’ve suggested I can reach out to the local DSA club and every time they are like “ewww socialists?” I mean they don’t say that exactly but it feels like that, you know what I mean?

And I am the young guy and they keep asking me if I have any friends. I do but guess whats, they are all either radicalized, closet leftists, or are Zoomers and Millennials that can barely survive because the economy is shit, housing market is shit, the price of eggs went up 8x in a year and no one can afford anything so they all pass the time by sharing gaming memes on discord. Like, give them a reason to care, y’all!
