Can the predecessors to my generation stop &£%^ing things up for us?

They literally changed a sandwich’s name because it was “sexist”. What is the sandwich called “gentleman’s sandwich”. My generation doesn’t give a damn about this rubbish which people in their late 20s and 30s are pushing their snowflake behaviour on everyone. People like them are the reason why I’d vote for racist, homophobic, sexist and horrible people even if it negatively affects me just to shut you people up.

You either care about these things or you don’t. And you can’t blame your apathy on those who do care. You also cannot speak for your generation since plenty of people your age are out there protesting, some even as leaders. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@bijouxbroussard ask 18 year olds about this. They won’t care, they protest about wanting more rights and wanting basic human rights.

@Sadwithasmile I asked my niece and her friends. They care about sexism too, and as young women they’re encountering it probably more than either of us.

@bijouxbroussard there is a big difference between sexism and a sandwich. The same way there is a difference between lgbt rights and using lgbt as an advertisement.

@Sadwithasmile Accepted. But even that is unlikely to prompt them to vote for someone openly racist or misogynistic, simply out of spite.

@bijouxbroussard the truth about society is, people just back in stupid directions. Trump was clearly the best way to push buzzfeed people back. There needs to be an equilibrium.

@Sadwithasmile There does, admittedly, but Trump didn’t receive the majority of the vote, and most of the people who voted for him weren’t voting out of spite—at least not in that sense. Trump confirmed their feelings of “us vs. them”. He couldn’t have won most of them if they didn’t already think that way. The ones who might’ve done it on an impulse or going “against the machine” are regretting it. The others were true believers and don’t care how much he lies or does things that are against our best interests. As long as he screws over those whom they consider “enemies”, they think they’re okay with being screwed, too.

@bijouxbroussard indeed
