Adults Over 50, Share With Us The Significant Differences You've Noticed In Politics Then Vs Now

It's not really a secret that the political climate nowadays is...chaotic. A lot has changed over the years in the political sphere, and as a Gen Z'er, I'm curious to know: If you're an older adult, how have politics changed over time? What are the most significant changes you've noticed?

Maybe you remember a time when politics didn't divide people so much. You remember when politicians were respectful, and there wasn't so much animosity.

Maybe, as an American, you were there when Roe v. Wade was passed in 1973, but to your shock, you were also there to witness it being overturned in 2022. You didn't think the government would "move backward," but alas.

Or maybe, on a more positive note, it's more refreshing than ever to see leaders continuously fighting for the rights of marginalized folks when, back then, trans rights, LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, and more seemed unattainable.

Whatever the case, if you're an older adult, I want to know the changes you've noticed in politics over the years. If you want a chance to be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post, share your thoughts in the comments, or you can anonymously submit using this form!
