It’s a pretty widely accepted fact that stupid people are happier and less aware of the world around them, so it’s always weird when maga thinks this is a mic drop.
As a veteran, I hate that this man "salutes" during the anthem.
1. Generally speaking even Active Duty and Veterans don't salute in civies. You CAN, but most people just put their hands over their hearts.
2. He's not a veteran or active duty. POTUS is a civilian's office.
3. He's a fucking draft dodger. That's some stolen valor bullshit. You haven't earned that right, you fucking fuck.
4. If you're going to insist on being a valor thief, at least learn to salute properly instead of that lazy-ass, floppy-wristed, palm-out bullshit.
I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.
We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.
Then somewhere along the way, it changed.
Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.
We were sold convenience.
What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.
And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.
Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.
