I, gen-x, as a kid in the early eighties, imagined 2026 as either a post nuclear war apocalyptic wasteland like Mad Max, or a cyberpunk dystopia like Neuromancer, Cyberpunk 2020, or Bladerunner. One of those two came true.
EDIT:
History ended sometime around 1990. It was determined at that time that civilization could not substantially change any further, for better or worse. No Mad Max or Terminator dystopias, but also no Star Trek type societies in which both social systems and technology become highly advanced. No, just a Sisyphean nightmare in which nothing meaningfully changes and an infinite, perpetual constant is maintained and managed, forever and ever, until the heat death of the universe. Instead of either dystopia or utopia we have an ever present, oppressive malaise that only the sweet release of death can liberate us from.

That sounds like a dystopia to me.
Reagan is the devil. His policies need to be rolled back and we need to get rid of the Right.
Seriously. The fascists want extermination of minority groups, the Christians want to feel persecuted, and I just want to live a life without there bullshit. The compromise that gets everybody everything they want is right there.
