Never give up. I'm old. Do you know how easy it would be for me to sit back and say I quit. Chances are I won't live long enough for it to get really bad. Reality is it's not about me. I'm a patriot. I was raised to salute the flag, that pledge of allegiance I made actually means something and that the united States of America is the greatest country on the planet. To sit back and let it fall goes against everything I believe in. My sweet little granddaughter at 10 years old is truly the most innocent loving person I have known in my lifetime. She is so inherently good she doesn't see evil in anyone or anything. She can and will find good in every situation. I cannot/will not let them destroy her and the other innocents like her. I will do whatever is necessary to take my country back! Stand up! Make the commitment! If our fore father's had given up we wouldn't have a country. NEVER back down. You are a patriot!

Man, I feel that. I’m also mid-twenties. People love to shit on boomers, but our country is fucked when that generation dies off.
Same. Just turned 32. Went to an engineering school and pretty much all my friends who are engineers....I thought they could think independently..... but almost every single one of them is obsessed with this critical race theory cancer.
I’m an engineer too. Most are vapid lefties.
This is sad. Chemist, here. Engineers used to be smart.
Engineers are smart. But like any smart system, garbage in = garbage out. Smart people still do some dumb things.
People are being brainwashed, propagandized, and they don't seem to even care. Social acceptance is paramount. They won't stand up to any criticism, any mockery of their position.
A big reason is the women, who lead men around by their.... appendage. Men want sex, women will deny it if the men don't cater to the women's concerns. So the men give in, over, and over, and over again.
The real problem, the biggest problem, is the millennial women. The culture for the last 20 years or more has been all about "empowering" the "fierce" women. So now they have embraced that. Sorry, that becomes a whole rant of its own.
Engineers used to be very independent and creative. Now they are pumped through the system in great numbers and want to be "professionals". They value their linked-in profiles and spend a lot of time networking. Many want to get out of design work and get into management. They think they ought to be directors at age 30. Most have no interest in engineering (as in designing things, solving problems, prototyping things, understanding how everything works).
In the 1970's, engineering classes were far smaller, and the characters (mostly men) were quite independent. Often they studied math/physics before they decided to get into applied science. Electrical, Civil, Mechanical had common courses until about half way though the program -- so even an electrical engineer understood thermodynamics. The trend now is to differentiate much earlier.
Now universities take engineering classes right out of high school with predictable results. Things like single digit grades in important courses, but getting passed anyway when they challenge it.
I find science and math students to be more free thinking than modern engineers.
I would agree. We grew up with meritocracy. Good people were rewarded for excellence. Now that meritocracy = racism, it is a race to the lowest common denominator. Worse yet, great people that might have been engineers, scientists or medical doctors are displaced by those chosen via other criteria (skin color, sexual orientation, challenged in some manner)
The great advancements of the last century would not have been possible without meritocracy. If we went back to that, the smartest young people would pick up where the boomers left off.
On the plus side the people that keep the intersectional coalition together are also close to dying off. People like Pelosi.
Don't expect conservatives over 40 to care about you or offer us any help either. We're basically on our own.
I have to disagree on that point. You are not on your own. A lot of us boomers may not be tip- top physical specimens anymore, but can still provide support in many ways. An example: I can't hump a 40 lb backpack for a 6 mile run, BUT, I have medical training and teach a field trauma care course on my own time and free, to local patriot groups. I also have various properties that could be used for safe houses if necessary. Us old folk can contribute food, equipment, ammo, intel, etc to the " tip of the spear" warfighters. Even marines have a support tail. Don't write older people off just because they can't do hand-to-hand combat.
I wasn't even talking about some fantasy combat scenario. Boomers have refused to pass on institutions to new generations and hang on to positions until they die, at which point the business or organization itself is on its deathbed. How many conservative boomers have helped "lazy" millennials or younger people get jobs? Very few, most spend their time telling us to "work harder" when we work minimum wage jobs, or cannot get higher paying jobs because boomer run corporations flood the country with H1B workers and other cheap labor.
I'm in the medical field, so my view is somewhat skewed as there have always been shortages of doctors, nurses, medical assistants, etc. where I have worked. I'm not familiar with other industries. For sure, in government, people, ( especially politicians!), hang on to their jobs waaaay too long!
