Just got to my hotel. I see Trump boomers all over the place. In the restaurants, in the hotel, in the lobby, in the CVS, on the road, at the gas station, at the bar, in the mall, on the street. Everywhere!

Us mid to younger Gen-X'ers get it too. 1976, I still had duck-and-cover drills in my first couple years of school. Grew up with commies == enemy and hey, that's still true.
Xennials represent! Young enough to be current with today's technology; old enough to remember when America had its head on straight.
There is another generation between Boomers and Millennials called "Generation Jones". We are right there in-between the two. Too young for JFK to have meant anything to us and too old to find rap interesting........
Hello there! Hat down.
Yep. "Get under your desks for the nuclear bomb drill " lol
We did Duck & Cover when I was in school in 1960.
Hell, back in the 80's my elementary school STILL had an air raid siren AND tested it now and again. That thing was LOOOOUUUUUUUD! Not in tornado alley BTW - definitely part of the cold war toolset.
I am from Minnesota MANY MANY TORNADOS! I am also from the 60s born and in elementary school we had NUCLEAR and TORNADO drills. The difference was the DESK or the HALLWAY! IN a tornado drill we went into hallways and lined up on the walls. In the nuclear drills we sat under our desks!
Completely different drills!
Because everyone knows the best protection against nuclear radiation is a DESK... in the same way that the best protection against airborne viruses is a MASK.
The message being that tornadoes are more dangerous than nukes
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
Proves our governments were always fucking stupid, or they were distracting us kids from the nuclear hell with desktops. I think it is the first one!
Fun fact: More Americans have died from tornadoes than nukes during every single year of our nation's history.
Younger Gen Xer too. In addition getting under our desks we had some kids assigned to turn off the lights and lower the blinds. Teacher said it was to help stop flying glass caused by the shockwave.
There is an actual abandoned Nike base in my wife’s home town.
"Nike base?" Used for the sneaker war?
