As one who tends towards the nostalgic (that's why I'm an old guy who still loves the Beatles) I find this post so helpful. To confront the reality of the past and not my own idealized of it challenges me and folks of my baby boomer

generation. I've always thought that boomers are the most nostalgic generation in history. We love talking about our idealized versions of the 1960s. It can be fun, but it is not a good of seeing the reality of our present. And it sets us up for a politics of nostalgia. MAGA anyone?
