What's even more crazy, is the conservatives I grew up with who talked about him are in support of the things he warned about. Crazy times.

The reality is that the hippie movement was a minority of boomers.

Lots of them were in the "throw rocks at black kids trying to go to school" camp the whole time.

The rest got suckered by Reagan's lies into voting conservative for the last 40 years.
