I am reminded of the transition from the Carter years to those of Reagan. And let me be clear: I supported Carter as president and loathed Reagan.

But I admit that things did look awful dark and dystopian for the world in 1980. Change is the only constant is a very useful way of looking at things. Often doesn't take that long, either, you'd be surprised.

Maybe it's time for elite millennials to change?

Why is Matt Damon always in the doghouse with the online hall monitors of righteousness? He is one of the most likable guys in Hollywood, with impeccable liberal credentials. Yet always flailing around in cancel culture quicksand. #BureauOfWokeness #Wokeatraz pic.twitter.com/B9xdqqqbZO
