And current voting age Americans have now lost the respect of the rest of the world and many future generations. You have allowed Trump, just as the Boomers allowed Regan.
You have allowed Trump, just as the Boomers allowed Regan
I allowed Trump?
…looks at demographics… 60%-65%+ of votes in each election came from boomers and old Gen X…
I dunno Bob, seems like the exact same Reagan generation is at fault here. Same people that elected every GOP candidate for the last 50 years. For all the talk of “young people elected Trump/big MAGA swing”, there was a whopping +4% change in under-50 Republican voters from 2016-2024. And even after that, under-50 Democrat votes still had a net +9% advantage over the GOP. Compare that to -8% for the over-50 crowd.
Unless you think I should be bootstrapping my own billion dollar super PAC to counter multiple decades of targeted suppression of the progressive vote, I have no idea why I’m at fault here. When I bring up that both-sidesing and anti-voting narratives literally only help the fascist takeover of America I’m shouted down. And on the flip side “[my generation has] allowed Trump” when the basic facts disavow any support for him.
“It’s my fault” that old fucks keep falling for billionaire propaganda? It’s literally their votes getting him elected. What exactly should I be doing about that? Campaigning for political euthanasia?
Let’s not forget that both Bush 2000 and Trump 2016 lost the popular vote. The US system is so screwed up it produces outcomes counter to the majority desires.

Very true.
But many tens of millions of Americans voted for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, literal traitor (insurrection), and probable pedophile in 2024, giving him the popular vote.
Americans are very, very, very fucked up.
Our system is also fucked up and allows for minority rule, but if more Americans had their heads screwed on straight, that brain damaged minority would never have power.
I agree, and it should never be forgotten. Past generations need to shit on us as much as it takes so they don’t forget the mistakes we made.
We need so much more awareness of these evil bastards and the tools they use to control us and turn us against each other. Trump voters sided with billionaires and hate, and that shouldn’t be forgiven.
You’re aware of how much Americans shit on boomers, right? This is why. Boomers voted for Regan, and because of that they don’t have our respect.
