Mostly right.
The other thing that is new about this time in place is how easy it is to feel like you have a community of like-minded people.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the mainstream newspapers and TV channels were able to make everyone feel like organizations like the John Birch society or CPUSA was fringe and not respectable. Now people just cling to their little sub group and sub narrative more when you try to tell them their views are not respectable.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
