The way memory holing was used to rehabilitate Jimmy Carter's public image. Easily the worst president of the last seven decades and yet he's idolized.
The greatest flaw of the millennial generation is their appalling lack of perspective. If something happened before they were ten years old, no it didn't.
Nah, Carter was worse. He actually believed this shit and actually did stuff. Biden isn't president, he's a hollow shell for the people propping him up.
If Biden is just a puppet, then that is actually proof that he is worse. The President is supposed to believe their own rhetoric and do stuff to implement it. That is the entire reason they are voted into office in the first place.

Flaws of the average person from any generation are a consequence of what came before them, simply because of their upbringing being different whether it be politics or technology or rearing from parents.
Greatest generation dropped the ball by resetting geopolitics
Silent Gen can't/couldn't let go of the past or former glories
Boomers are spoiled narcissists that benefitted from Western economies getting hallowed out yet acting like the youngins are the issue.
Gen X'ers became jaded and probably doomer-pilled to the point they couldn't help move the needle back
Millennials are intolerant extremists thanks to all the agitprop bombardment in media and Internet
Post-Millenials/Zoomers are degenerate narcissists seeped in anti-humor memes
Post-Zoomies can't (won't be able to) think past their iPads
From my perspective, and having been raised by basically anti Boomers, I disagree with some of this.
Nobody made the Boomers the way they are. They were raised right. Their parents took them to church, taught them useful skills, gave them a foundation to build on.
Instead they collectively bought in the lies of good times and muh equal, and chose to become lotus eaters.
My opinion I made above won't make sense to, or be agreed upon by, everyone because I'm someone who was born on the edge between generations. Our kind get screwed out of opportunities by both ends (like my parents did), so my outlook on the concept of "generational gaps" is negative.
It probably defeats the point of my argument but I don't like the defined ranges for each "generation". There's similarities among those in the ranges but it's not representative of every single person in that hard line range. It's only really become a part anthropology because the Industrial Revolution caused rapid changes in technology that affected culture to the point that people 20 years later aren't psychologically the same as those before them. Prior, things evolved so slowly you could have three or four generations of people be pretty much the same.

Hey that's not fair! I mean, Obama, Bush, Bush the sequel... We've had a pretty bad run.
None of those assholes gave away the Panama Canal.
Not any more as of 2020.
Or 1988, or 1992, or 2000, or 2008...

Good times make weak men
I was under ten when the Berlin wall fell. It had no meaning to me until I had relatives come to visit.
If something happened yesterday, it didn't happen if their objective needs it to have not happened.
Unless it can be used as a cudgel against my enemies to get what I want, then it happened and it might have happened even more than it did in reality.
