[quote=Anonymous]I'm 54 and the 90's were pretty good. There was the pervasive sense that we were making progress, especially on gay rights. Smart, extremely competent people were in charge. (I hate neoliberals but at least Clinton and Gore had decent managers and middle managers in agencies.) There was a sense that we were making progress on environmental issues. On social justice. It wasn't all rosy...there was Newt Gingrich and right wing bastards, but they felt regressive and reactionary, like a last dying gasp of a toxic old generation (the Rush Limbaughs of the world.) the pervasive culture felt like progress. I can't tell you how black and bleak the world feels now, comparatively. The idea of open Nazis and fascists being in charge....it just would have been unfathomable. We have fallen soooo far since Gore v Bush, Ciyizens United, and the oligarch ascendancy.[/quote]
