I’ve been speaking to a lot of 20 somethings all week. 13 different convos from the gym, to volunteers, to Office Depot. Cnclusion? You people who swear this generation is so sharp must be defensive as parents because these kids are woefully uninformed, uncurious,

disinterested, and utterly lost in a social media morass of runaway mediocrity. You may have raised exceptions, or think you have, but this country is generating a LOT of hapless dopes.

But go ahead and say it’s just my generation crapping on the one before. Except that I crap on my own a a lot. It allowed this to happen. But it has happened, and denying it is a really bad idea. We need to fix it, not pretend it never happened. It happened. We’re dumb.

And THAT is why people keep voting for Republicans. Because they are just too swayed by simplistic emotional arguments that appeal to voters with very unsophisticated—typically uneducated—thinking. Sorry, but the evidence of that is all around us. We’re drowning in it.

I spent 2 hours last night reading the feeds of some very popular @instagram accounts. It was like being immersed in an alien civilization where everyone acts like an imbecile, while the genuine imbeciles tell them what they believe in—or should believe in. Depressing.
