If politics is downstream from culture, then it makes sense that Democrats, who took days to abandon John Conyers and weeks to lose confidence in Franken, lagged the culture a bit. By the same token, though, the Republican Party’s embrace of Trump and Moore suggests the right wing has forged a sick and dangerous counterculture, and the GOP is downstream of it.

Quote:

Ultimately, the partisan signals that now determine who faces consequences for their actions can only become neutral ones if the country insists upon it. If Roy Moore loses in Alabama, or Democrats win back the House in a landslide, Republicans might learn that there are consequences to coddling lawless and reprehensible men. A national public reckoning with all the damage Trump has done might trickle upstream so that conservative voters in America come to accept that empowering men like him is immoral. But until that happens, we need some failsafes. New rules and processes won’t change a culture that tolerates pedophilia and corruption to secure tax cuts and right wing judges. But they might protect the rest of us from the politicians who thrive in that culture.

He also doesn't care what sort of world he set his kids up to live in. He just wrote the checks, so that absolves him of all other responsibility.

This is the best op piece on boomers I've found to date:

And don't give me this crap about Boomer music. The Beatles were all born before the end of the war. So was Janis. So while the Boomers can claim they had the good taste to listen to gifted pre-Boomers, when it came their turn to make music, the truest expression of their generation, what did they give us?

Disco.

The generation that came before the Boomers gave them Dylan. The Boomers gave us KC and the Sunshine Band. Thanks a lot.

in all fairness, it is wrong to stereotype an entire group of people. But boomers are disproportionately responsible for the state of the country right now. This cannot even be disputed. Placing the blame on millennials is the hardest snort laugh I've had in a good while, thank you

Teaching your children to step on the little guy to reach the next rung is certainly setting them up for life.

Just not in the way you like to pretend

Where to start? Computers for a start and drastic improvements in many aspects of life, the sciences and healthcare, safety at work, ADA and the glass ceiling or more women working with far more choices than ever before.

It's not where we are today it's where we were 30 years ago. If you can't connect the dots between the two I can't help you there.

You can blame olds, but using the word "boomers" is incredibly stupid because it implies some sort of mechanism by which the US became more conservative due to the baby boom. Like not only did the 60s not happen but it had some sort of opposite effect.

I'm a ****ing computer science major about to graduate. Are you seriously going to try to claim "computers" for your generation? Because "computers" have been around since the 40's. Most computer science research/advances took place in the 50's and 60's and yielded the tech advances we now see today.

The fact that computers are stronger now than they were 30 years ago is not a credit to your ****ing generation. We got better at making processors for cheaper. That's it.

I'm dreading the day that takes place.
