Grandpa was a coal miner. Dad worked at a Toyota factory. I have a job neither of them understood/understand. I desperately hope my kids have a job where I have to restrain myself from saying "that kind of sounds like bullshit."

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.
