Gen X here. Our parents always drilled into our head in the seventies and eighties to never believe everything you see on television.
Those same parents now believe everything they see on television AND the Internet.
Power of propaganda and media control by propagandists.

Reply to comment by benefit_of_mrkite in TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
I was a young teen back then. I had never heard of it. My sister's both had.
I suspect it was advertised during female centric programming, even on MTV.

Progressives wanted Bernie. Debbie Washerman Schulz wanted Hillary to be the first woman president and it to be Schulz's crowning career achievement placing her there, so she literally sabotaged Bernie's campaign from the inside as a total abuse of her position for her own hubris.
It wasn't some make believe dream that Bernie had the momentum and ability to win the Dem primary. If you went to both candidate's campaign events it was night and day the difference in the crowd.

My dad always had a thermos of coffee and the big triangle coffee cup to drink from.
Thats how a man went to work before cup holders.

Yeah I grew up with cool boomers that were and are sharp and aware of reality.
We have our own shitheads in every generation unfortunately.
