GenX’er here. We’ve known this since the late 90’s. Everyone called us crazy. Welcome to the fricking club. Better late than never, I suppose.

What shape would this country be in if every institution ran like the government?

They vote themselves raises----and it never fails they get them, have the best medical care plans, best pensions, perks that the average guy could only dream of, etc., etc., etc.

This is absolute gold right here. Democrats. Republicans. The only way to make it better is to try to shrink the size of it.

And that's exactly how the Founding Fathers thought about gov't too...hence the right to bear arms, ie 2nd Amendment. Lose that one, and the rest follow.

For this woman to actually think this just goes to show how stupid some people are. I hope your response to her was something like... "Go frick yourself you stupid bitch" or (southern version) Bless your heart.

I think it’s not as complicated. People are inherently selfish. Politicians just want a job so they will lie to keep their jobs. In some cases they will drop to their knees (cough..Vp).

Dude. They stole the election, pocketed billions, and are currently trying to start a nuclear war with Russia starting with a Russian first strike against us and you think it is little lies to keep their job? Give me your address and I'll be over shortly with the best deal on a car warranty, vinyl siding, and lawn service you have ever seen.

Government causes problems, denies it did so, then taxes you to pay for the fix.

Hey douche, I’m actually not old enough for Woodstock it it had some amazing music at the time.

Second, I did not send you to any wars. But, for the record, if the US went to Afghanistan and destroyed that place with a purpose to obliterate and win, I would have participated

That brings me back to the premise.. apparently you agree as well.. your government lied. Did you participate in that lie by going to war?

When will you and your generation put a stop to this? I will help.

Serious question… is it impossible to comprehend a few people in government actually believe in limited government?

There are a few and, unfortunately, they are no longer allowed to participate

They are supposed to govern at the consent of the governed but that no longer happens

My guess is the majority of boomers are conservative

I originally used the term “vast” but in thinking about that it may be closer to even than I would like. Years of indoctrination including

1 schools/teachers / union
2. Unions
3. Minorities

Years and years and years of propaganda to prop up the elected

From one boomer to another, we’ve known this for awhile. That’s how Reagan happened. Now if we could just bust up the stranglehold the uniparty has, maybe we work on this fiasco.
