In a recent conversation, a friend pointed out that "people like us" have a lot to worry about now. I am not sure if I agree. My recollections of the late Eighties to early Nineties (I was pretty young though LOL) were that even though there were Republican presidents, popular culture was very "trashy, immoral" and disposable. Sure, you had the law going in restrictive directions in terms of drug use, women's rights and the strength of Christianity in the US, but there was also a lot of rebelliousness....like the counterculture asserting itself.
I do plan on being more active with my politics, but I'm not panicking just yet. I just found it surprsing that in the past, Repubs seem to been a lot of bark and little bite....odd......
EDIT: when my friend said "people like us," he meant him and I, not my work field.
