The 60's were a time of sloganized morality, which was and continues to be a form or moral bullying. It is its own kind of social disease. The "movement," the youth revolution, and the rash of Civil Rights legislation turn out to have been more about power than about morality. This was obvious at the time to anyone who took the time and effort to look closely.
It was also a time that promoted feelings over rationality. "If it feels good, do it." "Let it all hang out." To which I say that it took thousands of years to tuck it in. That is, to develop civilizations. We are still in the era of the tyranny of feelings.
In the New Testament, Jesus comes down hardest on fake public piety. The 60's, in particular, must have made him cry. It began the era of the moral poseur. That type has always been with us, but scale counts. It existed on a grand scale in the 1960's, and still does.

Good times may have seemed good but Three quarters of the decade was horrible and changed our country for the worse.

What memory fragments to share here? In 1860, slaves who crossed the Ohio River from the south found sanctuary from abuse, servitude and the ills of hatred. In the 1960s, There were outside water spigots at the drugstore for the "colored" and gas stations that had restrooms in the main building for men and women, but signs to an old fashioned hole in the ground out house for the colored, regardless the temperature or weather. Progress that went backwards for too many. But jobs for everyone who wanted one and was willing to work - cars, refrigerators, lawn mowers, manufacturing equipment, tools, aviation, rubber wheels, steel, national defense, farming - all in Ohio in the 1960's.

The thing about my "love generation" wasn't the excesses some did. It was I thought, that people were becoming self-aware and socially aware. I thought we were caring more about each other and others in general. The political tribalism of Newt Gingrich in the 80s was dedicated to poisoning working together, getting things done, helping each other and moving toward a better tomorrow for all of us. He succeeded in getting followers who drank the same Koolaid - until now. Small government, bankrupting Social Security, giving the military weapons and ships they never asked for and we don't need, giving away the tax breaks to the wealthy who don't need them, and crippling our government when it is most needed like our government should respond to the current Covid-19 crisis.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
