The 'bad' economy was supposed to bury Democrats in 2022. It might be their calling card in '24

The data shows an economy that's turning around but crickets from republicans.

Thank goodness. Hopefully after 2024, enough Boomers will have died that we won't have to worry about a Republican president for a while.

@BohemianBoo I think that just might be on their bingo card :

@BohemianBoo boomers are not to the left of the nation -. They're a meme.
@BohemianBoo My young padawan, i've taught you well.
@Roundandroundwego I know, they're to the Right. That's why we want them to die out.
@BohemianBoo of course. There was no anti war movement. You can rewrite the past to do anything m
@BohemianBoo "Hopefully after 2024, enough Boomers will have died that we won't have to worry about a Republican president for a while."

sounds an awful lot like something i've said before.

and openly celebrating Covid unaliving right wingers.
@BetweenKittensandRiots I remember as soon as covid became a big thing, people were calling it the "Boomer Remover."

I legit have no idea what you're trying to say.
@BohemianBoo we were hated for being anti war, why not just lie about us? It's just like our parents did. You're like the thin tie wearing fascists who served in Korea. We're not you. So you don't want help. Enjoy the endless war.
@BohemianBoo talking with no facts is the new way. Nobody know nothing! That's an order.
@Roundandroundwego We're anti-war too. But we're also anti-fascist, and most Boomers vote Republican.
@BohemianBoo you can't be antifascist and vote Republican. You can be incoherent. That is normal.
@Roundandroundwego A Fascist and a person so stupid that they vote Fascist is pretty much the same to me. Either way, the Fascists get more power.
@Roundandroundwego I don't get why so many of you old folk can't process that the hippies and the whole counter culture while large enough to have music devoted to it were the minority of your generation.

like every time we left wing activist are like ehhh good that the virus is killing off old farts there's a boomer who will show up like we've always been on your side and it's like Cool I hear you that's nice but look at the dominant majority of your generation and it's a sea of blood red that misses the 50s and thinks the 60s were a mistake and wants to turn back the clock.

like yeah We see you Grace slick but you can hardly speak for your your generation.

It's amazing how successful the media was at painting the narrative that an entire generation were anti-war hippies. Really, the media was using hippies to fear-monger, much like today when they say all college-students are Socialists, which is a lie they've been telling since the fifties.
Hippies and Socialists were always a small minority, but the media saw/sees them as a threat.
