    I see it plenty without the media stoking it. Here on Lemmy, etc.

    It’s the same dumb tribalism as always, often backed up by some real data or trends (that tend to get twisted)

    No, not every “boomer” is spoiled and ruining America, and 75% of the people you call boomers aren’t even boomers. Not every Gen Z is lazy and entitled and scrolling phones all day. Etc.

      The median age of U.S. senators is 65. Who do you think is voting for those people?

      The Boomer generation absolutely deserves to be shit on.

          Who the fuck would we vote for? Genocide Joe or Cheeto Mussolini? They rigged the primary against Bernie twice. Democracy is fucked in this country.

          Buddy I’m not here to convince you of anything. If you wanna believe not showing up to vote is just as bad as making a conscious decision and the effort to vote for these procorporate trash ghouls in the Senate that’s your choice. As for me: I choose to say Boomers are responsible for who they vote for and who they vote for is trash, so they are trash.

      Crabs in a bucket. If we can’t find the things that make us alike with our cohorts, it’s going to be very difficult to ever affect any sort of change.
