I'm so glad my projected lifespan overlaps with an extended period where the boomer generation functionally no longer exists.
Their pestilence will remain for a long time.
You might find out that there's shitty people in other generations too.
I have, and there are. It's just that on average, boomers tend to be shittier than silent, Gen X, Gen Y (millennials), Gen Z, and Gen α. More entitled, less self-aware, less empathetic, less willing to learn or at least accept new concepts, less humble, less informed, and more bigoted. Boomers are very, very lucky that they have a sizeable contingent of hippies to buoy their reputation.
Trump isn't a boomer, he's a pre-boomer.
That’s not true, the baby boom was definitely on by mid 46
I recline corrected, grazi.
Bro who downvoted you for this. 😭 This is just a basic, honest mistake with a correction and a very polite and immediate acknowledgement of the mistake.
Must be a slow news day. It's just your run of the mill "I hate my wife xD" boomer humor jokes mixed with a dash of "lmfao poor people amiright" snobbery. Oh wooooow Donald Tump is a narcissistic elitist asshole that hates his fans behind close doors - how is this new information?
Good point! Ignorance is not an excuse, it's a symptom of bad communication.
Of all the shit Trump has done, this is probably the most mild
It's an old, old story, certainly, but every time it's re-told I can at least imagine a few of the mental-sleepwalkers might wake up.
I thought it would be worse, but it's still shitty. Gramps Trump uses a widow of his loyal supporter as a set up for his boomer-humor 'wife bad' punchline. I'm not the target audience, but I guess it's hard not to have a blank face after hearing that.
"Wife bad" is his base. They won't care.
