Generational churn and social media have gotten in the way of the “remember American history and pride.”
They quit teaching George Washington and the cherry tree nonsense in grade schools a while ago. A whole bunch of kids are growing up outside the filter bubble of 20+ years ago, and they’re voting age now, only going to become a bigger share of the voting bloc. They’ll be defining future social value stores and have no love for the old Empire.
They’re not post war shellshocked and Cold War paranoids that huffed leaded gas before its ban. A very different social mindset is aging into political power.
100 years ago certain violations of religious norms were unconscionable.
I’m not so sure the next generation is inclined to babysit the sensibilities of those currently churning out of reality.
