HIPPIES: To blame for most problems

Who thought legalizing drugs and being lenient on crime was good for America? Answer: Hippies, drug dealers, criminals and morons.

I blame hippies for most of America’s problems. Hippies emerged from the ’60s and ’70s and became lawyers, teachers, professors and politicians. They had an agenda. They weren’t necessarily lazy, just stupid and misguided. They revolted against social mores and the rules of their parents. They protested America. What spoiled brats. Post World War II, they literally had more freedom and prosperity than any generation ever, but it wasn’t enough for these malcontents. They labeled law enforcement fascist, and called cops “Pigs.” They dropped acid and dropped out.

They didn’t discipline their children. Hippies didn’t like rules. They didn’t like authority. So here we are saddled with the wreckage of their nonsensical leadership. Record drug addiction, record homelessness, record depression, record gun violence, record divorce and record apathy.

Good job Hippies (aka liberals).
