I think I'm just on the cusp of people who remember 9/11. I grew up near D.C. with parents who had a WaPo subscription and always watched CNN. I don't really remember the Lewinski scandal, but in my kindergarten class I distinctly remember there was a poster explaining who George Bush and Al Gore were. So like even if I wasn't getting good info, I was being acclimated to politics and had a head start on liberal disillusionment that was complete by the time I could vote.
It's always jarring when I meet someone the same age as me who like just learned what the three branches of the US government are and what the different sides of World War II were yesterday.
