The media has this weird aversion to just coming out and saying the words that need to be said to adequately describe something. It's rape. Call it rape.

My parents and nearly all of my older relatives are boomers, and to me it seems as if they're all stuck in a 1950s/early 1960s time warp. Many of them still watch old TV series like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Waltons, etc. on a regular basis. They still listen mainly to the music they grew up with, and almost all of them have a powerful nostalgia for the past. Few of them seem to regard the future with much hope or optimism. The small towns they live in (I know all of them well), have downtown areas that still look like a 1950s movie or TV set, although they're now run down and mostly dead businesswise. Some of their nostalgia is simply that they're now old and long for the days when they were still young and energetic, but a good deal of it is a belief that things really were better in the past, including racial, gender, and cultural issues. Men and women "knew their places", blacks and other minorities were still subordinate and virtually invisible on television and in movies, and were just getting into sports, and gays, for all intents and purposes, didn't exist in a public sense. That's what these people long for, and it's why they cling to Trump so fiercely - they see him as their last chance of getting all of this back.
This is a really good post but the good old days are not coming back. The mills, mines, and auto plants up north are not going to suddenly reopen as free trade has killed that. Lots of folks long somewhat for a past when things seemed simpler if you had some money. If you didn't those times sucked. No way Trump or anyone else for that matter can bring back the past.
yeah this is especially true when it comes to Trump/Republicans lying or being racist. "Made misleading remarks" or "made comments of a racial nature," etc.
I assume it's some fear of appearing biased, but FFS call a spade a spade. Hell, isn't that what the MAGA crowd swears they love about Trump? Tip toeing around things doesn't make you above the fray, it just makes you a coward.
