A 6 year old child broke my heart today. I was teaching a 1st grade class on an EE field trip and I asked “What happens in fall!” & one of them goes “the weather gets cold and then hot and then cold and then hot” and I was actually too stunned to speak for a second
Back when MTV was abandoning music videos for reality TV and the internet was a place none of us really understood, we made a habit of putting ourselves in front of a camera with a silly idea, throwing it to the dogs of the world wide web, and seeing where it took us. Before then, a homemade, rudimentary music video like this couldn't have dreamed of winning a Grammy, and we aren't positive, but we're pretty sure that in today's internet age, it wouldn't have a chance either. But "Here It Goes Again" happened because at just the right time, with just the right amount of internet literacy, four guys in dandy suits with eight treadmills and a beginner-to-intermediate grasp on choreography (who were bestowed with the immense advantage of having help from the brilliant @bigbadtrish) gave it a go, again and again and again and again.
Imagine being an 18 year old young male voter. When you were 11, the MeToo movement launched and men across the board like you were deemed oppressors. When you were starting high school, liberal politicians closed your school and forced you to take classes online. The women around you don't seem like victims -- they are going to college at way higher rates, earning far more than men in many professional white-collar jobs, and are way less likely to be addicted to drugs and as lonely as most of the guys you know. Your peer group of other young men play video games and enjoy memes mocking the dominant, suffocating, woke culture across all the major entertainment and academic institutions. How is voting for the establishment Democrat who avoided any voting process or scrutiny for her nomination in any way appealing?
I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
