I am sure other generations have felt this, but I am 52


and cannot remember a time when tbe world seems more out of control.

North Korea nuke threat
Massive Hurricanes
Russian election tampering scandal
Ending DACA
The insanity of more tax cuts for the uber wealthy
A head of the EPA who wants no regulations
An Attorney General who is racist
Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacist are mainstream
A malignant narcissist as president

GOD HELP US!

I can, the 8 years the magic negro was in the white house.

  Good heavens, how tunnel-visioned is your narcissism?!

Let's see:

* 1949, Mao took over China;

* 1946, Berlin Airlift;

* December 7/8, 1941, Pearl Harbor and other attacks;

* September, 1939, Germany and the USSR invade Poland, setting off WW2;

* 1938, Kristallnacht & Munich;

* 1937-1938, the Rape of Nanking;

* 1933-1934, Stalin's Terror Famine in the Ukraine;

* 1929-1941, the Great Depression;

* 1918, the Spanish Flu kills millions;

* 1914-1918, 10s of millions die in WW1.

Just in the past century or so! And not particularly complete.

Go jump off a bridge.

And every one of those on the list is either imaginary or a direct result of the incompetent socialist bastard who occupied the office for the previous 8 years.
These people really are missing a key brain function

You heathens don't believe in God.
Why should God help you?

McCarthy says 'thousands' of commies have Government-jobs in DC.

America (Congress) abandons Hungary to the USSR after promising them we wouldn't.

France bails on Viet Nam, leaving Ike holding the bag.

Gary Powers shot-down.

FALN bombs Congress.

USSR vows  " We will bury you. "

Cuban missile-crisis.

Kennedy assassinated.

Nuclear-submarine Thresher implodes, sinks.

Race-riots begin.

USSR and Egypt threaten missile installations along the Suez Canal.

6-Day War.

Airline-hijackings begin all over the world.

NK hijacks the USS Pueblo.

That takes it up to about 1967, when I turned 15.  Ya gotta love the crisis-to-crisis lifestyle.

They are missing a brain, period. Dummies are proof positive that a brain is not needed to live.

Life is so rough compared to the Great Depression of the 1930's.  Idiots.

"Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacist are mainstream."
Only in your demented, paranoid little mind, in which they've been that way ever since the Bush Administration.
In real life, despite what the media and the liberal pundits and race- baiters would have you believe, such extremists remain the ultra- lunatic- fringe minority that they have always been.
What I have seen, including on DU, is open calls for the assassination of the President, and open support for violent terrorist groups like Antifa and By Any Means Necessary which seek to forcibly silence any who dare disagree with them on any subject.

The Korean and Vietnam Wars really cannot be fully understood unless seen in the context of Stalin crushing and enslaving Eastern Europe, Stalin installing a puppet government in NoKo, Mao conquering China, the atomic and State Department spies cases, Ho taking over North Vietnam, and Castro taking over Cuba. Add in WW2, three wars with the Arabs trying to wipe Israel off the map, and Vietnam, and the '40s, '50s, and '60s pretty much reeled from crisis to crisis. C365 was only born in 1965, so (s)he didn't experience most of all that, but I was born in the mid '50s, so my main memories are from JFK's assassination forward. But I can read, and, presumably, so can C365. C365 may hate Trump having won the election, but that doesn't compare to any one of the many events that made 1939-1975 a period of chaos.

Maybe in the D Party from the 1870s through the 1950s, but not now. I've seen what happens when a Stormfronter tries to infiltrate a conservative forum with racist insinuations. It was a fun chew toy, until the owner banned his @$$.

The world is out of control. Every day gets worse. You liberals have created a rift between man and his creator. Every day the rift gets wider, man gets further from God and the world loses a little more of its collective mind. Know God, know peace. No God, no peace.

Why are the DUmmies such whining little turds, and then get on a public discussion board for everyone to see.  Brilliant, just Brilliant.

Being ready to run for the basement or a designated fallout-shelter at any moment...  Lovely having that in the back of your mind all day every day.

365's just another historically-illiterate idiot starting a history-thread.

<blah blah>

I am around that age, Dummie. I remember the Carter years being particularly bad. Worse than now.  I also remember the MSM media pukes saying the same thing when Reagan was elected president.  Turned out that thing got immensely better after he had been in office a couple of years.  Give President Trump a couple years and I bet things will be better than they were under the idiot obumbles.  Hell one could give Mickey Mouse a couple of years and things would be better then under the great incompetent obumbles.  50 years from now historians will paint obumbles with the same brush they now paint Carter.
