hate for conservative politics? What happened over the course of history during their lives that caused such a pivot to denigrate their own race and cheer on the destruction of America?

They left old time religion and found their hope in the fallen world. Most have the white Savior complex to their core.

Exactly, the hippies from the late 60’s and early 70’s are now in their 60s and 70s. There is a 10-15 year span of idiots.

This is the correct answer. My mother, who passed away at 99 two years ago, watched CNN exclusively. She believed everything they said, regardless of the facts when we showed them to her.

Validation.

These people are trying to believe that their entire lives hasn’t been a combination of meaningless “protest” combined with the leeching of future generations for their own benefit.

They’re bored. They never had families and are mad and lonely and have to blame others

Hippies were primarily born in the late 1930s to the 1940s, so as of 2025, they would typically be in their 80s.

However, the values and lifestyle associated with hippies continue to influence younger generations, including some who identify as neo-hippies.

Back when these people were young they only had 3-4 news channels and you could believe what they said.

So now they watch this propaganda bullshite and think it’s real.
