Wasn't it the promises of trickle down economics and libertarianism? Young people today are seeing what that got us. Most people are working 2 jobs just to get by and college is too expensive and student loans are a homelessness risk because there is no guarantee you will even get a job in your field when you graduate. Baby boomers reaped the benefits of the New Deal, built wealth and immediately stripped the new deal away. I think the ones that built wealth are too comfortable to notice, and trust whoever keeps their money growing at the expense of everyone they never talk to. Idk, maybe this is just going to be a cycle. I hate to think that we're going to have another new deal but with less racism this time and another wave of anti-trust and then my kids are going to be the ones pulling the rug from under people born three generations after them. Also I think the baby boomers just had large numbers, and that gave them a ton of voting power. So maybe the next people that benefit from reform will have to actually rely on this manipulative type of coalition rich people form with the prejudiced now. Or maybe the heritage foundation wants to strip reproductive rights away for multiple reasons and not just blind sexism. I really hope tackling things like systemic racism and the way that gets people who are poor and haven't confronted their own bias to vote against their own economic interests out of fear of an other, can break the power of generations born in good times taking advantage of it. And I am seeing young people at least for a moment here realize the scam because Trump has taken it to such a grotesque extreme. Idk, people are probably just self centered from the demands put on them by society. When something effects you it forces you to care. Education is going to be so important to break the cycles that keep happening and as long as people aren't radical there will always be a reason pushed to them, encouraging them to hate it.
