    The version I always heard when I was young was, “If you’re not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative at 40, you have no brain.”

    Here I am in my mid 40s, and I’m pretty sure the conservatives are the ones with no brains.

        I was thinking this as wel, we have an entire generation that is poorer than the previous one, something that you basically never see in history.

        Also it seems that politics has gone utterly insane. At some point I feel left vs right was about money. Should we help the poor and take more from the rich or should we lower taxes etc.

        Now it’s about wokeness, crazy conspiracies, actually supporting Russia (like wtf happened there), etc.
