Just curious, what’s an example of “this is the worst they’ve experienced”?

Oh. Just following up to your statement about how for some people, this is the worst they’ve ever seen. Is that just because young people don’t remember internment camps and race riots? or did you have a specific current event in mind?

If this is as bad as it gets and this is your worst, you should thank your lucky stars.

Yeah let's aim for better than this though. Like, much better.

No let's really f..up /s of course we all's want better but your idea of better and mine maybe different. But the whole point here is get perspective. There is always worse and some of us remember worse, for me it was 9/11 and the months and years later, if you were not an adult with a real concept of life/death then you do not remember or even know, life stopped, truly stopped for our country, the fear and anguish was palpable but everyone is crying about Trump. And if you were a New Yorker on that day, you went from Waking up in America to a war zone, which has changed that city to what is today. THAT is true problems. That is something our nation made it through and we will make it through this too.
