Donald Trump is about as antithetical to Millennial sensibilities as any politician could be short of an out-and-out Nazi, Ku Kluxist, or Marxist-Leninist. Excellent electro0nioc gadgets are poor compensation for being competent but having little chance to get ahead.
I do not doubt that the recent Millennials have been schrod by the ruling elites. I was just saying that the GIs were schrod worse by their ruling elites. Revolution today is far less likely given the failure of the old Soviet Union. The see saw encourages those looking for change away from violence. The spiral of violence is showing no movement towards a violent solution.
I do agree with your opinions on timing and who will be held responsible. We can only hope that as the Millennials take their place in power, they can overcome the current stalemates.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
