50. But we're not doing the younger generation any favors
If we let the advances of the 1960s (or the 1930s, for that matter) be rolled back. These "battles" should be over, done with, settled. But the forces of power who lost those battles want to reopen them, they want to re-fight them, reverse our gains, and take us ultimately back to the days of the Robber Barons.

Prescott Bush wanted to overthrow FDR and respond to the Republican Depression with the policies of Hitler and Mussolini. His descendants clearly have the same objective.

And we should elect a candidate to oppose those efforts who somehow makes it sound like the advances of the New Deal, Great Society, and the movements of the 60s somehow went "too far"? Sounds more like he would join them instead of fight them.
