Some millennials are over 40. Doesn't change the point but let's be factual here
Fuck I'm old :((((((
I'm here with you on that. We got to see Biff in back to the future and now we get to see a Biff Larper as president.
All Biff and no hoverboard? Bogus!
Fake Biff and fake hoverboards!
totally not not-heinous
Considering Biff was based on Trump in the 80s...
They almost nailed it...
He wasn't quite evil and stupid enough.
Oh shut up.

I envy gen x. Last generation to be home owners.
Not all of us.
Yeah, you can change high-school to college, and 40 to 45 for me, but the point doesn't really change.
I'm 43. Look at me go.
I was trying to think of some shit going down in the 80s.
All I can think of is Chernobyl melt down in 86.
Challenger explosion, televised straight into so many classrooms
Wow. Looking into this for a few minutes I now realise I've been completely naive to this for most of my life. It's an awful but fascinating disaster.
Not the 80’s, but the early-mid 90’s were rife with evidence of the U.S.’s decline.
Rodney King beatings, the highway of death in Iraq, the rise to prominence of Fox News, the mass destruction of the ‘93 floods, all those communities destroyed by the shift to zero tolerance policies, and the deevoludtion of national political debate into contentious identity politics by 24-hour news channels.
In the 80’s you had Bhopal and 3-mile island, too. And the savings and loan crisis, I think.
Mutually Assured Destruction was pretty big at the time. The rot really started to set in with Reagan.
you boomer
This isn't about them.
