    I’m an old millennial, I’m 40. My mom went to a segregated school. When my mom was a kid, black people were considered so vile they couldn’t be in the same room or drink from the same fountain. America has been this hateful for a long time.

      This is to say, we are not even ONE generation removed from US apartheid, the boomers GREW UP being “racially superior” to black and brown people, NO WONDER they’ve voted the way they have. They want the USA of their childhood back!
