This may be the only US Presidential Election that Generation X ever decided. And, even so, we still had to choose between two candidates who weren’t one of us. Let’s face it, most of us would vote for an infant or a corpse over a Boomer. Any Boomer. Except, in this case, the old Boomer was much closer to our values than the young one.
Megan Fox, a fellow GenXer, attributes our generational hostility for the Surveillance State to our semi-feral childhoods. Which is probably at least partly true. We don’t see what business our employers or government agencies could possibly have poking into our business when our parents couldn’t usually be bothered with it. It’s actually kind of comical when our children are disappointed that we don’t keep closer track of the details of our lives; they have no idea how much more interested we are in them than our parents were in us.
And now we’d very much like to see President Trump transform into God-Emperor Trump and burn the whole Deep State structure down to the ground. If you listen to last night’s Arkhaven Nights, you can hear, not one, but two versions of FOUR MORE YEARS, although listeners should be warned that they contain 100-percent raw hopium.
I woke up in the morning in the Real America
The sun was shining brightly, the dawn of a new era
It felt as if the last four years were nothing but a dream
From nightmare to insanity and nothing in between
Hey hey hey nana nay the man is back in town
Hey hey hey nana nay the second time around
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
This time he’ll do it right
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
The future’s looking bright, hell yeah!
I think we’ll have to make a video of the second version. The bass really drives and the guitar solo is epic.
