Sure wasn’t me running all that stuff when I was 6 years old.
Yeah we didn’t go to the trophy companies at 6 years old and demand they start making participation trophies, Deborah. Our generation didn’t start that shit.
It’s that Boomers have participated in, and been behind the wheel, of most of the stupid, enabling moments of the 20th century. They built this world and got pissed when inequality they built to lock up money for themselves wasn’t sustainable.
Then they blame everyone else because they have no self-reflection due to lead levels in their blood causing cognitive impairment and aggressive behavior. My favorite was a meme all over facebook saying “Back in my day we didn’t have plastic soda bottles…” Yeah, who TF changed it, genius? YOU ALL. Sure wasn’t me running all that stuff when I was 6 years old.

Again, you are conflating age for wealth. They got you good with the generational strife propaganda, so you don’t focus on the actual class war problem.

Most of Boomers did said such thing. You are confused as the people you are screeching about.

Trump isn’t just popular with boomers. Plenty of younger people are MAGAs, or just don’t vote.

The point of debate here was that Trump is popular with boomers, very much so.

Not at all. Owning a home and a car didn’t used to equate “wealth” in the 60’s. But the middle class and lower middle class certainly perpetuated things like Red Lining and segregating communities. Sure, they got fucked by the Vietnam war, but they also got a Constitutional Amendment to vote starting at age 18 in 1971 and elected fucking Nixon in 1972! Boomers were the fuel for the socio-economic disaster of the 1980s.They invented “greed is good.” They gave up on the dreams of the Hippie movement and sold out.
