In a speech before the House that seemed lifted right out of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian classic, Rep. Glenn Grothman said he wants the U.S. to go back to 1960.
I remember when I was a youngin and heard men from the “greatest generation” removeding about things like “no fault divorce”…or women driving. Or having banking accounts. And voting.
Not even kidding. I was not surprised to know that a lot of dipshits still have resentments toward women about stuff like equal pay, or abortions, etc…that’s pretty much a given and they’ve been hooting about this openly for a long time. But to learn that some men (that are decades younger than these greatest generation dipshits I’m thinking of) still think things like no fault divorce need to be rolled back is mind-boggling.
I guess a lot of them are deeply sexually frustrated, and imagine that if they can just corner women again, they’ll be forced to have sex with these incels (or incel adjacent).
I’m wondering about that 80 year cycle theory and getting increasingly worried, TBH. The ultra-rich thinking their money will save them from any repercussions are sowing more and more division and hatred, while stealing all the money and making people even more miserable (that they then blame on “liberals” like Soros, and Big Tech, etc.) and even more desperate and hateful is not going to lead to good things.
They really didn’t like it when women and “colored folk” started having… opinions.

Luckily those generations are about to all die off.
They’ve passed their *isms onto some of their kids, but less than before.
We just gotta keep working at it and it’ll get smaller and smaller.

What cycle theory?
It’s not well-supported, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory
I think you mean “the bullshit generation full of dipshits that fucked this country into the goddamn ground”
They done went and got all uppity.
