It's actually really sad. I know boomers who straight up have uni degrees who fall for it hard just because they watch it all day long and not because the arguments are "good".
Had a job watching a bunch of boomers essentially every boomer is considered disabled because of how unable they are to take care of themselves. I mean I’ve worked with former lawyers who are now poor and on ssi for no reason besides poor life choices
Caro's LBJ is one of the most incredible series of books I've ever read. It'll make the point "LBJ brought electricity to his rural Texas community" by spending 100 pages talking about why the farmers of 100 years before were false in their optimism that the land would be fertile, and how physically exhausting a woman's daily housework was without the aid of electricity before even talking about how he actually brought them electricity.
@@mikewhiting7600 To introduce LBJ's role in the senate, he spends like 1/3 of one of the volumes giving an exhaustive history of the US Senate from 1789 to 1948. Another volume has an exquisite introductory essay about how if he hadn't learned how to steal elections in the most filthy way possible in a completely corrupt system, America would probably never have passed a single piece of civil rights legislation between the end of the Civil War and today. There's another one about how he spent his entire life cultivating the nickname LBJ, on the thought that FDR had set the standard for making your initials into an iconic quick reference, to the point where Lyndon Johnson forced his wife Claudia Alta to change her name to Lady Bird Johnson, and named both his kids and even his dog (Little Beagle Johnson) LBJ names, all in service of getting people to call him that, and the ultimate result was him as president, unable to sleep because protestors are screaming, "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" It's complex, thorough, well-written, and beautiful. A series that deserves a couple weeks or months of your life to obsess over. And the first volume came out in 1982, and the last volume isn't even fucking out yet. Caro, who's now 87 years old, was slowed down because covid prevented him from spending time in Vietnam. Anyway, I know exactly why Nick Mullen is obsessed with him, and he's totally right
@@craigrussell3062 It's amazing spending all that time to try and ape FDR then end up a one-term president who could only give speeches on military bases because anywhere else would be an assassination risk
My dad never voted once in his life, I remember when 9/11 happened he said "who is that guy" when bush came on the TV he forgotten the previous election happened and thought Clinton was still president, my mom got him a smart TV and in that kitchen its all tucker carlson all the time now cause of the YT algo
I don't think he's at that part of the biography yet but the story of how Lyndon B. Johnson stole the 1948 senate election and the story of Coke Stevenson is incredible as well.
The books are great because they just build up these complex and interesting and honorable figures and then Caro is just like "and here is how LBJ ruined their life"
Caro’s series on LBJ is so great. Dallek’s lone star Rising is also a little more readable if you’re like me and wanted an introduction to him without reading like 3 volumes. Also made me apprentice LBJ so much more as a man.
@@nickt1295what I appreciated about LBJ was when he found out Nixon committed treason to win the 68 election he secretly recorded him & others talking about it. I wish he didn’t order them to be sealed for 50 years so people wouldn’t lose faith in the office of the executive but still.
There's a piece of great American literature in that 5-part Caro bio of LBJ, and Mullen alludes to it: the chapter in the first volume called "The Sad Irons". It's about 30 pages describing the utter and endless TOIL involved in ironing a shirt. Yes, in 1910, filthy Texas farmers cared about starched collars and sh!t. So, first you needed water - gotta go to the well, dozens of feet away from the house, and lug a heavy bucket to another, larger, bucket. Do this a few times, then boil some of the water you lugged over ... oh but wait, you might have to chop some wood to heat up your old-fashioned Ben Franklin stove. If you're lucky, wood is already chopped and waiting for you that day. This would be the case, of course, if you made everyone breakfast earlier that morning, meaning these weren't the first set of water buckets you've had to haul from the well to the house that day. By 2 PM, the inside of a farmhouse in Texas, in August, was probably 200F. I swear, anyone who thinks our time sucks needs to read "The Sad Irons" from that LBJ book. Ever wonder why women looked like hags at age 30 a century ago? Daily hard physical labor because of lack of electricity explains it. Hours of toil was reduced to a fraction thanks to running water and electricity. Which came late to rural central Texas, by the way - the 1930s!
The climate change near the great lakes a serious thing because if the lakes dont freeze over the storms that go over the lakes or comes off the lake will all be blizzards.
Hell yeah. I love when my boys discuss current topics like the 1941 Texas senate election
Is Nick reading that book on LBJ by Caro
It's so cool how boomers are now basically iPad babies with political content
It's true Boomers are way more into shit posting on social media networks than any younger person
This is so far true it’s not even funny
