You missed all the fun! Elementary School Cold War Nuclear Bomb 'Duck and Cover' Drills in the school building halls... like that was going to help!
Black and white tv, dial telephones. The Lone Ranger. Elvis. Rock and Roll. Texas Swing.
A young, charismatic liberal-ish decorated war hero President assassinated in the streets for being a liberal, and many of the Republicans snickering behind their hands. Or laughing out loud in some parts of Texas and Mississippi (where slavery was sorely missed).
The Beatles. Day Tripper was played over the school announcement system in our 6th grade by some kid I think.
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
Of course, those lyrics were always sung as pr*ck teaser.
Good times... well, until MLK was also assassinated in the streets for being Uppity While Black.
And then Robert Kennedy, who likely would have been the next President, was gunned down in a hotel kitchen, again for being a liberal and not being sufficiently racist and being suspiciously Catholic.
Then you missed Tricky Dick, whom JFK had barely defeated in 1960 and whom defeated Hubert Humphrey in 1968 because George Wallace go 14 percent of the vote, and most all of the racist vote, but who Resigned just before he would have been Impeached for trying to rig the Election.
And Vietnam, where America's morals-free corporate owned President Nixon landed us. And whom Americans of all ages, after my gen prodded them into it, joined mass coordinated protests in cities big and small all over the country ran him out of office and the country out of Southeast Asia.
Of course, he was nowhere near as efficient at corporate politics as Reagan of the Trickle Down MYTH and the Fake Hostage Crisis whom you might remember
Now, since 2010 and CU's Money as Speech, the elite own everything; all of one Party and enough of the other) and including their Clown Puppet in the WH, whom the same white nationalist faux-christian populist rwingers that backed Nixon and Reagan (and GW, who doesn't actually exit now, and never did!) thinks loves them.
It were be funny were it not so sad.
Now known as the Elections Rigging Agency.
Thanks, Trumpers!
