Well, whatever entity killed JFK for reasons and then covered it up for all these decades, turning many a boomer into a "conspiracy theorist", JFK assassination plus the Vietnam War plus whatever else led to great distrust in government and authority and institutions, then probably more stuff happened that I was too young to really be following, then 9/11 and "global war on terror" happened and created further distrust and paranoia, then activist Soros money and gay Obama and "white guilt" and DEI happened, then the rise of smartphones and social media and narcissism and virtue signaling happened, then covid hysteria and lockdowns happened...I'm sure I'm skipping stuff, but essentially you are now here. The marginalized mentally ill got a megaphone and dysfunctional incompetency became rewarded.
