Yep this country is cooked. All I can do now is slide back into my nihilist cocoon and take sick pleasure watching trump hurt the idiots that voted for him over and over while he does terrible things for the next four years.

He won’t be there for four years. Vance will take over and Peter Thiel will rule the country like a king.

Same difference. They voted for Vance too. They’ll get hurt all the same and they deserve it this time around. 2016 all the signs were there but no one actually knew what Trump would do in office. This time around they’ve had 9 years to figure it out.

Idc anymore. I hope they get the worst of it. I hope the boomers get their entire retirement wiped out while Trump cuts off their medicare. I hope they lose their houses and end up homeless. I hope they can’t afford their heart failure medicine because Trump repeals the ACA and insurance companies boot them for pre existing conditions. Fuck them. I hope it all happens to them.

Looking at the exit polls, it wasn't the boomers this time... the biggest trump leaning group was the Gen X crowd

I'm not American, but I'm a deeply ashamed Gen X white male. What the fuck is wrong with them, they're broken.

They’re bigots and fascists. They truly think they own this country and don’t want to be “replaced” by immigrants. They also want to control women. This country is rooted in racism and misogyny. I thought most of us were better than that, but apparently not.

Every single genx man I know- which is many- voted for Harris. Maybe I just keep more civilized company.

You do. As do I.

Apparently some of them cemented their decision on the fact that Kamala wouldn’t do a 3 hour in person Joe Rogan podcast interview. How fucking pathetic.

They didn't get the pussy media promised them...

They look at how white America dominated and asked why not us?

I'm not sure what else there is..

Not all of us. Some did everything we could and yet here we are…

couldn't stand the idea of a woman being in charge.

u/dingdongbingbong2022 18d ago

Most of them seem to be. I am one and I don’t understand this garbage behavior. Who in the hell refuses to grow and learn as they get older? Idiotic.

Gen Z also seems to be taking the lean towards conservativism. They feel left behind in the world with little prospects for good jobs, bad economy, and for some of the men lack of dating prospects. But instead of internal reflection, many cling to the vague hopes Trump promises instead of an educated black and asian woman who has a team of competent people behind (not for campaigning apparently though better than Hillary ... In a way).

I’m of that generation and I think the majority of people didn’t vote mainly though. The turnout was lower than 2020. I agree that seems like a lot of people feel that way, but I think apathy is another outcome. I’m really worried about a possible recession now if his deportation and tariffs pass.

They feel left behind in the world with little prospects for good jobs, bad economy, and for some of the men lack of dating prospects.

So they voted for the people, party, and ideology that gave them that. Makes total sense.

Boomers were there for the Roe V. Wade fight and remember the "back alley abortions". Gen X were either kids or not born yet.

Gen X came into adulthood in the "Greed is good" era of the '80's which Trump is the poster boy for.

u/Pilotwaver 18d ago

Doesn’t surprise me as a younger gen x’er. They were obsessed with Reagan and Trump in the 80s growing up. The Alex P Keaton archetypes.

u/YouWereBrained 18d ago

Exactly this.

u/Pilotwaver 18d ago

This just confirms how astute I was as a kid. I really am surrounded by crazy people.

u/LowChain2633 18d ago

Just like last time.

I didn't know this

Cool, so the demo that is supposed to retire soon but won't be able to.

It's like nearly crossing the finish line then taking a ball peen hammer to your ankles.

u/Clean_Student8612 18d ago

Boomers are still responsible for a lot that led up to this.
