That describes almost every old Republican I know. It’s puzzling. I think boomers are just bitter and don’t like being old and irrelevant to the future. Narcissists railing at easy targets.
The book has loads of references to the problems caused by social media, both right and left. The extreme right lives in a cave and ignores ideas that refute it. The extreme left is still open to debate, but there’s a call-out, shaming, and witch hunt sector of it that is trying to squelch debate it doesn’t like.
My old GOP relatives will be dead son enough. What of the dangerous alt-right young males and frivolous and coddled leftie kids?
The silos are creating armies of fresh idiots in this country.
