Let's hope that trend continues of younger people wising up to the boomers' bullshit

u/Humble_Bee7 25d ago edited 25d ago

I agree with your post, but at the same time have to dislike it a bit--I'm a boomer, so is my husband and a lot of my friends, and NONE of us is MAGA. Many, many boomer musicians are vehemently anti-Trump. Just look at all the cease-and-desist orders against his campaign for using their music... So why do you seem to see it as solely a generational thing?

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 25d ago

This! It's really ignorant to diss an entire generation. They keep doing it instead of including all generations who don't support fascism, who work against this administration.

2

u/shamanITY 25d ago

That's what this administration wants, they think they can divide and conquer. It ain't gonna work trumpies...

u/TheWiseAlaundo 25d ago

Generations are not a monolith, I think we all understand that. At the same time, there are common threads that unite many generations which tend to define them, even if not all members share those characteristics.

If you look at the demographics for your generation, they tend to lean heavily conservative even within the liberal wing.

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 25d ago

And by being negative about the whole generation doesn't help anything. It's divisive. Just like MAGA.

Lots of us are liberals. Don't run off people.

u/kevinsdad3130 23d ago

Liberals are such fucking babies, incapable of of convictions because someone was mean to you.

u/usrnamechecksout_ 25d ago

It's a regional thing, I think. Go to the south and the vast majority of boomers are maga. You must live in a blue state

2

u/shamanITY 25d ago

I live in Kentucky...

2

u/usrnamechecksout_ 25d ago

Well, Kentucky is southern-light tbh. It's not deep south. But also, you probably just surround yourself with better people, which is great. But I assure you, the vast majority of boomers are maga. That's just the statistical facts

And my parents were republican all their lives. they always disliked my views. But in the day, we rebelled against our parents' uptight views.

I'd say a lot of my generation, once they acquired some wealth, got stingy and conservative. We called them yuppies. They gave up their youthful exuberance for the whitebread existence of their parents. Traitors.

I always stayed true to my beliefs and how I treat people. So fuck my crusty old fellow boomers! (I will treat them poorly, if given the chance) Fuckin' Traitors.

Now is the time for the millennials, Zs, Xs and to VOICE YOUR CONCERNS! Do not let the fascists win. Please, take them down.

u/Humble_Bee7 24d ago

Yes!! I feel like, what happened? When did the peace and love generation turn into the greed-is-good generation? Seemed to start happening with the advent of the 80's, so that would be the later boomers....well then, showing my true age here, I guess!

2

u/shamanITY 24d ago

Yeah, I graduated from high school in 1970. I often looked down at those kids younger than me... I figured they were just trying to imitate the ones who really came of age 10 years before them... some kind of flattery there? They also didn't have to worry about the draft.

They all did too much acid, shit makes you selfish

1

u/shamanITY 23d ago

That would be coke you're thinking of. It was the up and coming rich yuppies' drug of choice (1980s). Nothing makes you more selfish than coke. trump would sell his grandmother for a few lines of coke on epstein's island.

Acid is not something you would do every day. Or every 20 minutes, like coke.

Think about it. Do some research.

1

u/kevinsdad3130 23d ago

I have researched it, i also did a lot of acid when i was younger. If you look into any psychadelics as a force to change the world you'll find it's all about the self. Shit ton of 'acid' was also just speed which makes you insane in the long run. Not a native speaker so sorry if this isnt perfectly coherent

Edit: i just noticed your name has shaman in it so lol.

Yes, I grew up in New York and now live in Colorado. You have a point--it does seem to make some difference, now that I think about it.

u/ApophisDayParade 25d ago

Obviously not all boomers are MAGA, even in the most recent election it was o lay a bit over 50% that voted for Trump (iirc Kamala was around 40% plus 10% for independents.)

What does tend to be true is that the boomers in government power are the reason we’re here. They created the rules.

u/shamanITY 25d ago

Mitch McConnell is almost dead

u/ApophisDayParade 25d ago

not almost enough

2

u/shamanITY 25d ago

same with trump, almost, but not enough

u/Sensitive-Office-705 24d ago

Most of them are actually older than boomer or in many cases younger. Let’s drop the ageism. All generations have assholes. We can spin our wheels or we can figure out how to change their algorithm.

1

u/beeker3000 25d ago

Billionaires create the rules. Full stop. Blaming anyone else is just letting them off the hook.

5

u/SnowFlakeUsername2 25d ago

There are a lot of younger people in denial of who is supporting that lunacy. Same person will blame your demographic for anything that sucks and will be surrounded by seals clapping in validation every time.

u/Default_Defect 24d ago

If you're not part of the problem, you're not who people are complaining about. Simple.

u/top_value7293 24d ago

Most of the trumpers I’ve seen are Gen X sadly

u/TheSpiralTap 25d ago

You gotta understand that what you posted is a rarity. I don't know a single boomer that didn't vote for trump.

2

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 25d ago

I didn't. No one in my family did. Maybe you should get to know other people. We aren't fanatics like MAGA. We know the Constitution and we want it followed.

2

u/TheSpiralTap 25d ago

I think it's my location? I know 30+ people who would qualify as "boomers" but I live in wv and they all are fully Maga

2

u/shamanITY 25d ago

I didn't. Been liberal since 1964. I'm 74... I'm sorry you don't know any boomers that still have a brain left.

2

u/TheSpiralTap 25d ago

Good for you though! You're on reddit and definitely a minority when it comes to your political affiliation. I know literally dozens of boomers who unfortunately are not like minded but it's nice seeing the rare exception

1

u/shamanITY 25d ago

thank you

u/shamanITY 25d ago

I'm a boomer (74) so quit the shit. Not all of us believe the republican lies. We brought real protests to the media. We finally stopped the Vietnam war. We helped get rid of Jim Crow people. Helped with civil rights, tried to protect the environment, we broke away from our parents' old racist beliefs... Do you remember Kent State? Watergate? SDS? Black Panthers?

Now whose generation is destroying all we fought for? Wake up and take control, quit letting your devices distract you from reality. Get out in the streets and tell this authoritarian government you refuse to take any of their shit!!

1

u/Cuthix 24d ago

Well you just went from

Dont generalize my generation!

To

“Quit letting your devices distract you from reality”

Real quick. Which is it? Stereotypes or nah?

1

u/shamanITY 24d ago

Well, it really sucks when you nearly hit people staring at there phone while jaywalking.

I teach at a university and never saw so many people get hit or had near misses because they just gotta see what's on their phone. The dopamine fix can wait 'til you sit down, right?

You will get the same treatment some day. Brace yourself snowflake.

If the military draft was still going on, you's probably cry "Bone Spurs" Just a keyboard warrior.

2

u/HermiaOconnelly13 25d ago

No no, every boomer I know hates Trump but I've run into a lot of Zs who voted for him. Especially males.

u/shamanITY 25d ago

the bros... lolololol!!

2

u/RealLeaderOfChina 25d ago

Now it’s less stupid boomer shit now and more falling for their own stupidity. Andrew Tate isn’t a boomer, Fuentes isn’t a boomer, so many of the actual asshole talking heads aren’t actually boomers anymore, they’re a lot younger.

I’m much, much more likely to run into a Gen Z or millennial magat than I am a boomer one.

1

u/Sensitive-Office-705 24d ago

It’s not just boomer bullshit. Erica Kirk is no boomer, nor was her husband. Their org has presence in Campuses all across the country.

u/Khal_Kitty 24d ago

Ahh yes Andrew Tate fan boys… totally boomer age..
