Younger Gen has no patriotism in their hearts,
no love for America.

They grew up watching mfs storming the capital and riots across the land.

The problem is that s*** is what's painted as patriotism and it's made it corny. I would never in my life wear an article of clothing with the American Flag on it, because I know the type of people that imagery immediately brings to mind.

The biggest shift would be the rightward movement the US made from LBJ onward both in terms of our foreign policy and domestic policy. LBJ laid the groundwork for the US's modern imperialist strategy and Nixon after him began the groundwork for the US's modern domestic strategy.

The stamp on this shift came when Reagan assumed office in 1981, where college tuition was ramped up to impossibly high levels in order to, in the words of Reagan himself, prevent the creation of an "educated proletariat". From there, we began rapidly replacing politicians, writers, activists, etc, as being cultural leaders, and replaced them with artists, entrepreneurs, and celebrities. It was celebrated from the 80s onward to be ignorant and uncouth because it made you seem "anti-establishment", the "establishment" being perceived as an "academic elite" that didn't actually exist but was a scapegoat for all the unanswered social chaos the US had been steeped in since the 60s. From the end of the Vietnam War onward, the American public was so traumatized and broken down that it was really easy for neoliberalism to take over and undermine the already paltry democratic fabric of liberal American society, starting first at attacking education and civic action.
