Based on what we did, ate, drank, etc., our immune system has its own "Strategic Defense Initiative". :D I hear Millenneals and Gen Z talk about their great grandfather serving in World War II. That was both grandfathers for me, great grandfather was a veteran of the Spanish American War.
We had the oil crises, no home video game system, "banker hours" telephone etiquette (none of the 24 hour stuff), we were the remote control to a TV with a knob and three channels. At 10/11 PM, the national anthem played, then the programming ended. We had Saturday morning cartoons and a good old fashioned butt "whoppen" was a part of the instructional tool kit that our parents had. Many thought that when the year 2000 rolled around, we'd be living as if it were a space themed science fiction movie.
And now many of us are in our 50s. :D
I started following the news in 1982, the first presidential election that I followed was the one for 1984, when Ronald Reagan won re-election. I saw many of the same things back then, with regards to excitement and support towards Ronald Reagan, and Geo-strategic, Geo-economic, and geopolitical realities, that I'm seeing now with President Trump.
Unless something major happens that shifts the tide towards Biden, this parallel will continue into Election night and there will be wailing and gnashing of the teeth among the left followed by an uptick of election night and post election memes on this site and on other conservative sites.
