33. Remember Mr. Stranger Danger?
We were well indoctrinated to him in elementary school.
We feared Russia. We feared nuclear attack.
We had bomb drills in school. We had missing and murdered kids. We had REAL reporters blown up for reporting stories that the bad guys didn't want us to hear. We had the Vietnam War. We had Kent State. We had Little Rock. We had MLK marching in the South for equal rights. We had women burning their bras and marching for women's rights.
The difference is the media and this administration.
The President didn't do everything in his power to scare the shit out of everyone back then. The media didn't bring this crap into our homes on a non-stop merry go round.
The stuff still happened. It was just in the background, not in the foreground.
