Trump boomers be like:

Hi we're here to destroy everything and make life impossible. Deal with it. If you don't like it, you fix it with the nothing we left for you. Screw kids, screw the planet. Everything is about us growing decrepit and needy now. The whole planet and everything on it can die with us!

LOL, trump may be a boomer I'm afraid you inflicted him upon yourselves. There aren't enough boomers left to have elected him without a lot of help.
@MoveAlong Thank you.

@MoveAlong I didn't vote for him though, so how's it my fault? And do you expect me to not care? To be compliant so I don't step on any toes? That's why it's over, nothing is real anymore.@bijouxbroussard and we're fighting the same monsters in power, I would have your back, so why gang up on me? You know I didn't vote for him 😂

@ScreamingFox My bad. I misread and thought you were talking about all boomers. I realize now you were taking about Trump boomers. Which I am not.
@ScreamingFox Not all boomers voted for him (I didn’t, either).

But the point that members of other generations did vote for him too, is a fair one.

@bijouxbroussard My friend, I said "Trump boomers", not all boomers.
@ScreamingFox I understand. But are they worse than GenX or Millennial Trump supporters ?

@bijouxbroussard they are the ones who experienced the lifestyle being forced on us.

I'll be real, yes, I do think that the older generations have a responsibility. Not just because of the turn things took, but because that's how nature works. Parents make sure they don't leave a mess behind for future generations. Leave it better than you found it. Nobody lives forever so you make sure your young can make it without you.

No, the maga boomers are not better or worse, but with experience is supposed to come wisdom and growth.

Like if I child does something very bad, it's not because he was born a little jerk, he was raised by jerks.

Accountability from the maga boomers is not happening, I know it, but I'll not argue with someone I would stand beside because they don't like me speaking up against a group of people that just happens to be the same age as them.
@ScreamingFox Adults are supposed to take responsibility for their own actions. That’s why I don’t understand Trumpsters of any age.

But based upon your argument, you should understand why some boomers are conservative—a larger percentage of the generation raising them were. Those of us who are progressive learned to think for ourselves. The first GenXs were born when I was five. You don’t think it’s time for them to stop blaming their parents and do likewise ?

@bijouxbroussard I think it's time for everyone to do something, but everyone thinks they're right, so maybe it doesn't even matter.

I'm a millennial, and I don't know how I'm gonna make it, and I did all the things I was taught and told were stable and honest. Just like we all did.

I've been through horrible things, and instead of telling my son, you're on your own, I can't handle it, I try to create a better world. My goal in life is to have anything to leave him to help because I see how bad it's getting. That's my job and I take it seriously because I know what it's like to be left behind. It's scary and impossible.

So I will stand up.

And I'm departing this discussion. We aren't connecting or agreeing and that's okay. I have nothing but respect for you. I have nothing but respect for your generation and each generation that thinks for themselves. We all have a right to think for ourselves. Cheers to that little freedom we still have.
