    Gen Z is just as hooked with propaganda and brainrot from social media, if not more so. It’s insane how consumerist the younger generations are, falling for scam after scam, I think it’s peptides now.

    This generational warfare shit is insane. Many boomers are working at Walmart because they don’t have enough to retire and are also getting fucked over. There are plenty of poor, progressive bloomers, just as there are an astounding number of gen z conservatives and red pill bros.

    Let’s admit that no one is immune to propaganda, and unfortunately most people in all generations are quick to fall for right wing bs.

      And then they go and vote straight R. Every time. Religiously.

        ‘If you’re poor and work at Walmart it’s because you’re conservative and voted to suffer’ sure is a great way to kick poor Democrats and drive away poor independents.

          Maybe they should stop voting against their interests.

          I don’t know what world you’re living in where the venn diagram of boomer Walmart greeters and Fox News viewers isn’t a huge overlap?

          Maybe it varies by area and California is full of leftist boomer Walmart greeters, I don’t know.

            You know literally nothing about them except that they are poor and work in a Walmart and have decided that means they must be Republicans. I don’t wanna hear shit from you about “why doesn’t the working class support Democrats more??” when this is how you talk about them.
