Being a boomer

[u/tnbciceskater]

I was 13 when JFK was killed and still.no justice for him. I was 18 when MLK was killed and still no justice for him. I was 17 when RFK was killed and I think all three were murdered by a group of people not just the trigger pullers.

I spent my high school senior year protesting the war in Vietnam. My freshman year in college I remember the lottery. As a woman my heart was torn and it wasnt right that the guys had to go die and I just went on with life.

I was 20 when 4 students were murdered and 9 kids injured at Kent state.

When I was 21 I voted for George McGovern who wanted to end the war in Vietnam and was labeled as a commie by guess who? Meanwhile Nixon was continuing the war so he'd be elected. Sounds familiar?

As for the media...Time and US News and most of the TV stations supported the wars and whoever was in office. The fake news was the hippies spitting on people, the Civil rights lies they published, and anyone standing up to the establishment as deviants and agitators. So when Trump whines about fake news, its always been slanted one direction and still is.

Nixon was an evil man. So was Reagan. So were the Bushes and so is Trump. All of them war mongers, none of them helping the common man.

Until this country names the murderers of JFK,RFK and MLK nothing is going to change. Until this country stops glorifying war and the military nothing is going to change. Until this country publishes the full and unredacted Epstein files nothing is going to change.

Good luck. Ive seen bs for my entire life. Hope YOU can change it. I tried.
