    Other things that have changed in the same time frame is the explosive growth of Reich wing broadcasting. Rush Limbaugh and the like coming to reach millions of people and then the birth of fox news. That has made things much worse in the last 40ish years

    Everybody's the result of the environment they were raised in, but that doesn't justify a single thing.

    I'm not seeking to justify their actions, but explain why the change seems to have happened around that time. I'm not convinced it's totally on gen X to have that sudden change, but more that the entire population was affected by the explosion of propaganda
