In the 1980s the trend of the day was patriotism.
In the 1990s the trend of the day was being a rebel.
In the 2000s, there started to become a divide on what the trend ofthe day was. You were either pro patriotism/pro war.....or, you were anti war/pro protesting. At least in the USA.
2010s the trend of the day was culture wars and division.
2020s, the trend of the day seems to be batshit lunacy and mindnumbing stupidity.
It's 2025. We have 5 more years to go. And with trump having 4 more of those years, I expect no change there.
God I hope the 2030s bring some kind of sanity, unity, and enlightenment.
Or, barring that, I'd also settle for UFOs visiting earth and allowing humans to leave earth. I mean seriously. How bad could other planets be, right? I mean their species is clearly more advanced then ours. I figure humans had their shot. Now I'll roll the dice and give these grey guys a shot, right? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
And hey, if they're the anal probe kind of aliens, that's just a bonus.....uhhhh......I mean......what? No no, I didn't say that. I'm just some random straight dude looking to leave this planet with some grey dudes I just met.
