2020 - 1776 = 244
25/244 = 10.2%
If you're 50, 50/244 = 20.49%.

So Biden has been in some political office for 20% of America’s history and he expects us to believe than NOW he’s going to get something done.

I actually feel sorry for the under 25 crowd. They’ve grown up in quite possibly the shittiest era of American Society, aside from the Great Depression. They’ve been brainwashed by SJW nonsense their entire lives.

Makes me around 25% then.

My grandpa was born in 1887, went by wagon train in 1900 with his family to homestead our family farm, flew in WWI France.

Stretching it back...

Also, you've been alive for the worst 10% of US history, with seemingly even more of the same on tap.

On the plus side, you can't miss what you never knew.

That’s a pretty amazing way to look at it. Trump needs to run campaign adds based on it

It really does. My dad talks about how he was born in 46 so it was right when WW2 ended. When he was 20, he said it seemed like the war was sooooo long ago, but now that he's older, 20 years is not long at all. So when he was 20, he was 25 years from the Nazis exterminating the Jews which just gives him a whole different outlook on the situation.

I'm 44 and it's crazy to me to think that when I was 20, something so horrific could have been occurring.

I don't know if I explained any of that right but it makes sense in my head to properly frame the timeline in which history has happened and changes my outlook on things.

It's crazy to me to think that things like 9/11 happened almost 20 years ago. It doesn't seem like that long.

If he was born in 46 when he was 20 he was only 21 years away from it. They were still doing that in 45.

Biden’s been in office for 20% of America’s History, and Trump’s been in office for .02% of American History, but the problems in this country and in government are Trump’s fault, not Biden’s


Gotcha
