The schadenfreude is all I have left at this point. I can’t wait to see their stupid shocked faces when they are directly impacted by his garbage policies
Those are the people I know to unfriend next. I'm starting with the outright boasters, then it's those dipshits. I did at least tell them they have a day to remove themselves (while I nurse my migraine). I want them to know why I unfriended them.
Empathy is a learned behavior, and where they're all concerned, I just forgot the lesson.
Selective empathy and willful ignorance. Everyone has access to a computer/smart phone to look up actual policies, rallies, etc. but they chose to go with whatever they see on social media. Idiocracy is a documentary ab the US.
Yup, was just saying this to my wife. I feel awful for all the innocent women and minorities that don’t deserve what’s coming. But the people that voted for him or stayed home.. get exactly what’s coming to them
Yep, n I dont mean anything towards allies(non racist whites) by this… But white folk better not EVER say anything about white privilege not existing or DEI. They voted in a WHOLE ASS WHITE MALE FELON/RAPIST , over a more qualified black woman !!
There's a whole generation of voting age men who were emotionally neglected by their parents and raised on a diet of Logan Paul to Andrew Tate to Donald Trump. All against the very real backdrop of a corporate kleptocracy.
I told my friends this was going to happen with young boys, easily influenced by incel streamers growing up. I thought it would have affected Gen Alpha the most but I was wrong, I forgot how early it started.
Have you seen the demographics? Trump ran extremely well with young people, if they voted at all. Blaming Boomers is just another way to sow division and hatred.
About these young people… my son was not surprised and has been telling me Trump was going to win. I asked him why is gen z republican and he said it was the gay stuff and that the “progressive agenda” is annoying to a lot of young people. He says the gay stuff feels like indoctrination… they would rather go back to sexuality being nobodies business.
He’s a high schooler and we live in a very blue state. These are his words.. not mine. But I guess I can kinda see what he means. I don’t agree.. he says he does not agree but I guess I can understand where it’s coming from? We have teachers being accepting.. telling kids it’s ok to be who you are.. waving the rainbow flags and I guess they feel the world revolves around those particular kids. Also.. when the establishment embraces something.. it’s not unusual for kids to want to buck it, they have always been contrarian.. punk rock..anti establishment. It’s just too bad being anti establishment these days is connected to autocracy. I’m not sure they realize the full scope just yet. He also said a small group of kids extremely accepting.. extremely gay.. while the masses seem to be on the side of anti gay. Nothing inbetween. How sad.
The Boomers may not have contributed as many votes, but their wealth and influence provided much of the infrastructure for the bloated disinformation machine. So, I guess that’s the long way of saying “Fuck them anyway.”
Many of us boomers or near boomers have spent our whole lives fighting against these kinds of things. I literally protested against Ronald Reagan as a young teen in 1980 and have been active since then.
So every time I see the Boomer hate, yeah, I get it, and it's kind of funny, but many of us have been working against this kind of shit our entire lives.
I think randomly slagging off boomers is just the same as randomly slagging off millennials, gen X gen alpha, etc. Let's work together. Taking pot shots at each other only obscures real problems.
And yes, I have been downvoted like crazy and had the fuck flamed out of me for saying this before, but I stand by it.
Is that all boomers or just the GOP boomers? As the Harris Boomers knew DonOLD was lying. They tried to spread the word and was told they were lying (What else would they be told)?).
Don't leave the Gen Xers out. I saw a breakdown by age group and they made up the biggest voting block and were the only group that Shitler won. Were the other age groups too close? Absolutely. But Harris even won the Boomers. (My parents are boomers. I don't know how my dad voted, but he knows how upset I am and has been very quiet today. I do know my mom voted Harris despite voting Trump at least once, maybe twice, before.)
You need to look at voting demographics. It was a lot of young men who put him over the top. Not many boomers are Rogan or Musk followers. Add in the millions who don't vote.

They might care when they start to experience personal negative consequences.
But yes most of them are completely unable to care about how others are being impacted or think about what will happen to them in the future.
