    I remember seeing frat boys / sorority girls in the southern US wear Reagan-Bush ‘84 shirts in like the mid 2010s, as if it were a retro-fashion statement. So I guess the flavor-aid was that strong, or their inheritances will be substantial and they will still have that hegemonic reign in that region. In a sense, they’ll be the millennials/Gen zers who will become the neo-boomers down the line.

      Wanna know why I like you?

      Because you know that they drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown and not Kool-Aid.

        I learned that from the Amanda Knox podcast, where she had harrowing descriptions and interviews with people who were there.

        I don’t know if she uploaded new episodes, but it devolves around true crime and the repercussions on people after all is said and done.
