<there were several assumptions we shared.> Part of that is the rigidity of age. People who do not remain life-long learners tend to become reactionary when they get older. I share annoyance with some issues and feel people should be accountable for their actions. This fact alone should provide some common ground the central lobe of political bell curves. However, what I've seen is a bunch of people whom I'd have never guessed (when we knew each other in high school) would have espoused and supported the Dumpfster® agenda. Some of those are feeling the "hang over" and have gone "radio-silent" on FB or other platforms, probably out of embarrassment or disgust. The shrill voices of the Faux News agenda are now embedded in the minds of a lot of the 60+ generation. Not everyone drank the Kool-Aid but a lot did. The youth I presume still have some shared beliefs that, in our day, were shared over doobies and classic 60's rock records. Today's' 160 character tweets don't support long rambling exchanges about Truth, Virtue and Fairness. Not sure where such a forum exists anymore, if it does at all.
