nonbinary fuss

Representative Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican, appeared to combine multiple half-baked grievances about millennials and "wokeness" into a single tweet when he, referring to fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent invasion of Ukraine had inflamed global nuclear hostilities, appeared to brag about knowing what it was like to live in fear of a nuclear threat.

Higgins, 60, came of age when Cold War tensions were arguably at their height and was 30 years old in 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed. But his scorn for millennials, who, he says, have spent their entire lives living under a "woke sky," left many scratching their heads.
