We're fucked. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, medical research, public education. It's all not going to exist.
-
I don't even understand why the boomers want this shit gone — so many of them rely on Medicare and SSI entirely. They all claim that because they 'paid into it their whole lives' that they are due a disbursement. But like usual, boomers are concerned about theirs; none of us who have been working for almost 20 years at this point will receive the same benefit.
-
A boomer would eat a shit sandwhich if it meant that those after them had to smell their breath.
-
They don't want it gone. They don't believe their team will actually hurt them. Despite many years of the GOP promising to do it.
-
Because the most important thing to a Boomer is the identity of a victim who had it tougher than you and 'turned out fine', and you should stop whining and be grateful for everything you've been given, because your effort is always inferior to their effort, by definition.
They literally cannot cognitively concieve of the concept that they can be wrong or make mistakes or ever have made a wrong decision or supported a bad idea.
They are literally suicidally vain, they would rather be in a constant state of paranoid fear, delusion and confusion, and vote in people who literally will kill them by proxy by taking away their health, housing, retirement and food benefits... and then they'll demand their children take care of them.
Why do you think there is a whole social media trend of adult kids going no contact with their boomer parents?
They're absurdly delusional sociopathic narcissists.
(Disclaimer: I do not mean literally every single Boomer, obviously there are many who are not like this and are great people who've been trying to stop this madness most of their adult lives... but yeah, overall? The generation that grew up in the most freakishly abnormal explosion of broad societal wealth increase, class mobility and technological progress in the history of the country, possible the entire world... uh yeah, their frame of reference for 'normal' is an anomalous and basically unorecedented event in the known history of economics, and that has royally fucked up their perspective.)
(Barring what China's managed to do in the last 40ish years, anyway)
(Also, the main reason this economic boom occured was because post WW2, basically every single other advanced industrial society had been bombed into oblivion, and the US was the only country that could make shit at scale. Thats it.)
-
Honestly, I'm in the EU and I fully expect the same thing to happen here, just more gradually than in the US. I will never be able to get out of social security what I've been forced to put in my entire life. And that would be okay if it meant it went to people who actually needed it...
-
Nobody in that coalition wants to think about their shit real life pulling in social security and living in a ticky tacky detached shitbox off a stroad in a suburb; they all envision themselves as temporarily inconvenienced mega millionaires whose biggest problem would be the capital gains tax rate if only those dang immigrants, brown people, women, and purple-haired hippies would stop repressing them. It's e the American way!
-
Boomers? I see lots of people of all ages voting Republican, so I don't think any of this is confined to just one age demographic...
-
They're idiots. Oh, and they've swallowed the propaganda whole and asked for seconds.
-
Frankly, at this point, I want them to get $0 checks and realize they fucked up as they lay dying. My last fuck for those people went out the window a long fucking time ago. Congrats, they got exactly what they fuck they voted for. Now go run off and die and let us start rebuilding without the societal anchors they are.
-
Because they are fucking brain dead.
-
they don't know anything about anything

Honestly the only hope I have is that once the Trump clique breaks everything down and the are ousted the American people can get together and remake everything, maybe even better than it was. They did it once before.
Though I'm afraid that will only happen when the people reach a breaking point and that will lead to a lot of violence. Make sure to prepare for the worst and stay safe out there.

Hey Republicans, can you say dictator?
Dick tater
This is what a dictator does. He dictates and the subservient do as they are told without defying his order so that they might, oh I don't know, try to represent you and your interests?
Y'all love to claim you love America and yet you're oh so eager to throw away the concept of THREE COEQUAL BRANCHES. Not one dick tater, a rubber stamp court that can be ignored, and room full of clowns that write the decrees of the dick tater to make it all legal like.
-
It's easy for them. 2 options.
- He has to do these things because of Joe Biden.
- They wait patiently for the Fox News/Newsmax/Kirk spin. Then that's their excuse.
-
I don't know if my brain is addled by the sheer amount of mudslinging he does, but I can't think of another politician that has publicly had issues with more than one or two people.
Obama, Hillary Clinton, Biden, various governors, AOC, Pelosi, various mayors. I actually can't even list all of the people Trump has had to "rescue America" from.
-
Not with Trump's cock and balls in their mouths.

-
Any dem who votes for this needs to be primaried.
-
Well, on the bright side, this is going to get lot more people out into the streets, and protests are already bigger than they’ve ever been.
I’m holding hope that the MAGA destruction hits so hard that the pendulum is forced to aggressively swing back in the other direction.
-
That was my hope after bush 2, then again after first trump term. Then the country provided republicons every lever of power as a reward. I'm not holding my breath of anything swinging anywhere.
-
We need more people daily who are protesting and making connections. Then with connections made to get things done. Everyone can focus on different issues to overhaul all of this. Run For Something, Marc Elias are good examples on Bluesky on what we need more of
