The more time I spend around college-aged kids, including my own, the less hope I have for the future. They are so deeply brainwashed by left-wing liberal media and social media that they'll swallow whole almost any critique of the country or it's people without ever questioning the motives behind such things or who profits, such as the ridiculous bullshit promoted as The 1619 Project. It was a project, alright, but I never realized bullshit could stack that high or penetrate that deep until I get around young people with college degrees.
Ironically, none of the tradesman I know, young or old, swallow the authoritarian bullshit like the college-educated kids.
Fortunately mine have survived with good values intact!
