A nurse in Colorado silently counterprotesting and enduring racist abuse.

So I'm lucky enough that my family has an oceanfront cabinm my grandparents bought the land for peanuts in the 70s and my grandpa built the cabin himself. He served in the Navy just after WWII.

My dad is a late Boomer, born in the early 60s.

About 15 years ago he put up a flagpole in the front yard of the cabin and would fly the American flag everytime we were there, including at half-mast whenever the government said to.

My grandfather lost his fucking shit and told him in no uncertain terms that it wasn't acceptable.

I don't mean to blame Boomers. But it really does seem like that generation was indoctrinated with toxic McCarthyism that led to where we our today.
