7. I was a teenager in the 70's

So I saw and remembered a lot of what happened in the 60's, like an older brother doing whatever he could to avoid the draft.
Fortunately, I was around to see and experience the Apollo missions which I followed like my life depended on it. Memories I will hold forever.
I do remember the 68 convention and the Newark riots. It was an unsettling time, but on the exit from those times, a better society emerged. Nixon, as corrupt as he was, started good things like the EPA, which has now been neutered by the current Nazi regime.
The Reich Wing has been seething ever since. You know, "cuz FREEDUM!!!"

Someone posted on line it took 50 years to eliminate Roe and the EPA and 60 years to eliminate the VRA. But this fascist regime has succeeded in accomplishing the destruction of those policies they have hated for decades in the matter of a couple of years.

What's next, Social Security???

Just like you, and MILLIONS of others, I'm DISGUSTED.
