[FRIAM] tolerance of the intolerant

Well, I'd classify the middle-aged crazies on Jan 6th as not-so-special snowflakes as well.

I could start by finding ways to internalize them better?   I *do* enjoy my avocado toast (toasted everything bagels actually) and am practicing gender-neutral pronouns, but it feels like an (even) harder pull than getting Archie Bunker to learn Meathead's sensibilities and language.

I definitely am very tired of the tropes of my own generation and appreciate the genX/Y/Z voices when I can hear/parse them.   I was happy to see the handful of 50 and under voices in the Democratic Presidential Primary and Congress but find the Republican version (Boebert, Greene, Hawley, Gaetz, Cawthorne, et al) absurd parodies of their "elders". Maybe there is a new signal in there, but I can't find it.
