    My parents and grandparents on both sides were/are straight ticket Republican. Told me climate change was a hoax.

    Now parents tell me “well we figure oh well we will be dead by the time really bad stuff happens”.

    This stereotype exists for a fucking reason.

      *most stereo types exist for a reason, good and bad. Regardless of whether you like it or not.

      Hmmm. Not this boomer. Guess I am anecdotal. As long as we keep the attitude that it’s the boomers and not the billionaires, we are royally fucked. But hey you do you.

        Go ahead and invalidate my lived experience, you do you.

        I do think the boomer politicians all need to go, used to think Bernie was ok but he fell for the LLM mania. They are either evil cadavers or timid water carriers for billionaires.

          Projecting your lived experience onto an entire set of people you’ve had no personal experience with is the very definition of bigotry. Young people nowadays seem to understand this when it comes to race, sex, or gender, not so much when it comes to age.

          Absolutely no argument there. The boomer politicians and the very rich boomers are very much the same. I also don’t like that boomers don’t want to learn anything new, it’s really stupid and very detrimental.
