Neither do I, and I'm one myself.

In theory Boomers still could "do" something great. Unfortunately I don't think they have it in them. A large contingent of them are too busy fighting the Grey Orange Champion.

FDR didn't save Western Civilization, Christian or otherwise. Neither did Churchill. You can thank that success to the Lost and GIs who actually fought the necessary fight against the Axis. Both are and were completely replaceable with any other person willing to let the Generals and lower ranking officers get on with the task at hand.

As usual PBR you are too focused on the focal points.

As to individualism, it is natural to the American character. As a nation even our most collectivist generation (Millies) seems to be highly individualistic. I can't tell you how many different intersections of "oppression" the latest wave of "Progressives" can come up with.
