Quote HistoryQuoted: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2008 2008. Yes, 18-29 (would be millennials maybe late Gen X in 2008) turned out higher for Obama. However, combined more Gen x / boomer / greatest generation voted for him. By a lot. Only 18% of voters were in that age range. 2012: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2012 Same story. Only 19% of voters were 18-29 year olds - solidly millennials then. Which, sure leaned Obama. So 65-66% of 18-19% of voters got a president elected eh? So for Obama in 2008, that represents 6.9 million votes. McShitstain still would have lost by over 4 million votes. Even if every Obama voting millennial didn’t vote. 2012, Romney would of won by ~1m voted if every single millennial, who voted for Obama, didn’t vote. Which would of been recounted since it would be under a 1% margin. Taking out the millennials that voted in 2012 for Romney, he would of still lost to Obama. You know OP, there are like… facts here. And if millennial are getting blamed for Obama. I’m blaming boomers for Clinton, the machine gun ban man, and carter. Maybe shitty boomers should stop running for office? The lube master comin in dry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: These labels are so stupid. I’m a late Gen exer, but my kids I suppose would be Gen Z. My law partner is a millennial, but since I’m a late Gen X and he’s an early millennial we are close in age. Yet somehow we are supposed to be completely different people. If anyone’s truly paying attention, the baby boomers were the original millennials anyway. Before they were called boomers, they were called “the me generation.” Because they only care about themselves. At least that was the stereotype. Does anyone remember that? Doesn’t every generation say that about younger people? It’s also idiotic. I like you. |

Quickest solution to get rid of the weak, end all forms of welfare. Food, housing, Medicare/Medicaid, SS. Let the strong survive, let the weak die. It’s harsh, but the decision was made long before the current generation’s time to give them a seat at the table. They’re not going to voluntarily give their seat back. Then we need to worry about ending welfare programs where the government is the recipient. Most federal agencies/agents, WoD, IRS. The weak people, politicians and agencies within our government need to die off too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m not saying boomers didn’t do things, pass laws etc that caused issues, they definately are to blame for some problems, but the younger generations are not reversing any of that shit, just adding tons of worse shit making society even worse off. I think you have to understand one key difference between Boomers and the Millennial/Zoomer. Boomers were brought up in a Traditional American value, expectation, ethics, cultural, social, milieu. Their numbers and demographic power gave them the ability to transform child rearing, education, public shame, societal expectations, politics, etc. They were told, resisted, etc. not to do this. Just like every older generation had told every younger generation before. There was always a decent check and balance. But their numbers offset these checks and balances. And they got their way. It’s like, the Boomers built a house. Their parents and grandparents told them NOT to put the toilet in the kitchen and NOT to make the doorways only 5’6” tall. But they did it anyway and made it the societal and legal requirement to have toilets in the kitchen and to make tall people duck through doorways or bang their heads. The younger millennials and the zoomers have grown up shitting in the kitchen and banging their heads on doorways. And being told it’s OK and just fine to crawl around the house so they don’t bang their heads. And they get blamed for going with the stuff that was forced upon them as normal as they grew up. That is a very significant difference. |

What I don’t see in all the charts and data are solutions being suggested. People have to admit reality before they can seek solutions. Most boomers have devoutly avoided that, not least because they have two solutions for their remaining personal political issues (failure to invest for old age): importing illegal immigrants to drive labor costs down to boost their portfolios in a low risk way, and confiscating workers' money directly for government redistribution into their accounts. We're about five years in to a fifteen year window where boomers' votes and boomer politicians dominate the country but ethnic shifts haven't fully materialized. You need to go back 5-10 years if you want to hear suggestions. Most millennials have given up on this debate because its too late to change enough minds to make a difference. |

Boomers steered their own children into every trap imaginable and now bitch about their own children rather than the traps. Why did millennials take out student loans? Everyone in a position of authority in their lives told them to. Where did millennials get their first drugs and pornography? At home. Where did millennials learn it’s ok to sit in front of the tube 8 hours a day? From mom and dad. And stop acting like there weren’t a ton of boomers who voted for Obama.

The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 and money has lost 95% of its purchasing power since then. Boomers weren’t even born yet. FDR created huge unelected bureaucracies in the 30s. Boomers weren’t even born yet. Nixon took us off the gold standard in the early 70s. It’s likely very few of the oldest boomers voted for Tricky Dick. Most boomers didn’t even know machine guns were legal when Reagan signed the FOPA in ‘86. Most families since the 70s have needed two incomes to comfortably raise a family. That’s mainly due to taxation (inflation is a hidden tax). Most didactic, patriarchal teachers and non-woke curricula died in the late 70s to 80s and the oldest boomers were deaf to the small voices who saw it coming and warned of its impact. Race relations were actually better in the 70s than they are now. A Doobie Brothers concert in the 70s would draw a mixed race crowd, up to 30% non-white in some cities and there would be few conflicts or any obvious tension. Race relations have gotten worse in the last 15 years and it isn’t the 60+ year olds of either race that are getting physical.
Inter generational class warfare is just one of the points of various “critical“ theories designed to fracture society by attacking normative equilibria through diversity and grievance cloud seeding. Anybody who buys into that crap is a commie’s useful idiot, regardless of age. Most of my best conservative friends are a generation younger than me but if you look at voting stats boomers were split politically similarly to most generations. There’s no generational monopoly on low-wisdom, low critical thinking, herd mentality. ETA: no question younger women are very photogenic. Who doesn’t like the looks of a sharp, fit person in the prime of their life? Unfortunately, it doesn't last. |

There’s good and bad in every generation, and no generation occurs in a vacuum. I can assure you that many boomers had bad parents as well. Marshal McCluhan wrote years ago about how changes in society are often due to forces (media, technological) beyond most people’s grasp or control. Blaming people without providing a context for their actions and a study of media brainwashing is pointless. My biggest problem with the flower children is they turned out to be full of shit and are basically big government worshiping commies. My problem with a lot of older folks was the blind allegiance to the government and msm over the scamdemic, their fear of death and cowardice when facing the truth of what’s going on, etc.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The weak from every generation, young and old, needs to die off. Physically weak, emotionally weak and mentally weak. Quickest solution to get rid of the weak, end all forms of welfare. Food, housing, Medicare/Medicaid, SS. Let the strong survive, let the weak die. It’s harsh, but the decision was made long before the current generation’s time to give them a seat at the table. They’re not going to voluntarily give their seat back. Then we need to worry about ending welfare programs where the government is the recipient. Most federal agencies/agents, WoD, IRS. The weak people, politicians and agencies within our government need to die off too.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think you have to understand one key difference between Boomers and the Millennial/Zoomer. Boomers were brought up in a Traditional American value, expectation, ethics, cultural, social, milieu. Their numbers and demographic power gave them the ability to transform child rearing, education, public shame, societal expectations, politics, etc. They were told, resisted, etc. not to do this. Just like every older generation had told every younger generation before. There was always a decent check and balance. But their numbers offset these checks and balances. And they got their way. It’s like, the Boomers built a house. Their parents and grandparents told them NOT to put the toilet in the kitchen and NOT to make the doorways only 5’6” tall. But they did it anyway and made it the societal and legal requirement to have toilets in the kitchen and to make tall people duck through doorways or bang their heads. The younger millennials and the zoomers have grown up shitting in the kitchen and banging their heads on doorways. And being told it’s OK and just fine to crawl around the house so they don’t bang their heads. And they get blamed for going with the stuff that was forced upon them as normal as they grew up. That is a very significant difference.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers steered their own children into every trap imaginable and now bitch about their own children rather than the traps. Why did millennials take out student loans? Everyone in a position of authority in their lives told them to. Where did millennials get their first drugs and pornography? At home. Where did millennials learn it’s ok to sit in front of the tube 8 hours a day? From mom and dad. And stop acting like there weren’t a ton of boomers who voted for Obama. If you were too ignorant to figure out if you should go to college or not, that's on you. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers are sitting in the front yard of their burning house with an empty gas can and a set of matches, and when the fire dept shows up, points at a kid riding by on his bike and accuses him of the setting the fire. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yup.. those damn millennials running this country for the past 30 years have really fucked this up for us. Boomers are sitting in the front yard of their burning house with an empty gas can and a set of matches, and when the fire dept shows up, points at a kid riding by on his bike and accuses him of the setting the fire. At least he can afford a house. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll let you all in on a little secret. Idiots can be found in every age group. This. When the boomer idiots are gone, the millenial idiots will be in charge and then they will be to blame for everything and the younger generations will be squealing about how bad they have it and it’s all the millenials’ fault and how millenials are slowing their upward mobility by blocking all of the good jobs and how they can’t wait for the millenials to die off so they can fix everything. It’s a…wait for it…generational thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That’s makes you a borderline millennial/ genx raised with a much more GenX bias, like me. We played outside everyday until the street lights came on and can remember a life with no internet and no cellphones. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'm 40, so I don't know where that puts me, but this. Lots of parents trying to be their kids' friends rather than teaching them how life works. Thus, creating little, entitled shitheads. That’s makes you a borderline millennial/ genx raised with a much more GenX bias, like me. We played outside everyday until the street lights came on and can remember a life with no internet and no cellphones. Quoted: Quoted: Millennials are like 40 years old. Maybe you mean zoomers? I always thought I was a gen X'er and rather proud. Xennials 1982. Right there with you. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: @buck19delta 18-50 is not millennial. Millennials are 26-41. Also, boomers for now remain the most powerful voting block -- those are facts, I just looked it up. True, but the boomer block tends to vote conservative (after all, they have a lot to lose) while the younger blocks vote liberal (in search of “fairness” and free stuff). Boomers lean Dem. Always have as the Flower Generation during Vietnam.It's going to get worse as they become seniors. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/200878/ah3v5uzcgde31_jpg-2493497.JPG https://i.imgur.com/fKaBAvm.jpg That was, and forever will be, one of my favorite Big R Republican pics.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Millennials came of age and started in college and the "real world"~ 20 years ago...when things started really devolving into Clown World...Clown World is largely a construct of that generation. I would blame the parents and "everyone gets a trophy" environment they were raised in. |

All the Karen's I've seen in real life have been Gen X. Just can't handle not getting their way.
