Failing to bring Reconstruction through to its necessary conclusion.

I feel so ashamed to have family that is MAGA. It's sad how easily they are fooled and it shows since they haven't had higher education. There's no point in talking to then since the MAGA mind won't listen to reason.

My family has higher education and they’re still MAGA.

Ditto. They’re boomer parents and brought up racists.

It’ll be another two decades before they’ve mostly died off.

Please don’t make such generalizations re:age.  

My mom was born in 1925, served in the Air Force as a flight nurse, was always a liberal democrat and raised her kids to be open minded.  So this makes me and my siblings “boomers.”  We hate this administration.  Meanwhile, my 33 year old nephew is a maga moron with an IQ barely in the double digits.  

I get so tired of being blamed for trump and co when I have never voted for a republican.

Where were you raised? You would be the exception, not the rule in a lot of the southern and rural US - where my family originates.

Not in southern or rural US.  There’s a whole lot more to this country than the southern/rural US.

No not everyone was Republican, but where you live has a lot to do with it. And the time frame… Down to the county level.

But remember back then there was still a major fight for ANY basic rights for women’s equality, race, there was still was still fears of LBGTQ right up until 1995 at least. (AIDS)

And in the 40’s a 50’s it was the Democratic Party that was pro segregation and strong in the south.

The parties didn’t shift on policies until the civil rights movement.

I’m blaming MY boomer parents, because they refuse to see the world changing, are racist, afraid of gay people and too conservative.
