You think 30 year old trannys are why this country is going down the drain? No, it’s their parents that allowed that to happen.

I'm all for the blaming boomers pastime, but you might want to rethink the ages and timing of your point here. Seems to be the tranny boom is being experienced with the kids of the generations after boomers.

Boomers are why we are in the dire straights we are in today. Own it gramps. You mortgaged your kids and grandkids and their kids futures for your own comforts.

I'm an old Gen X and even I would like to say, frick you. Die already.

Remind me. If I’m young and my education is shite because of Marxists infiltrating our society, what generation allowed that to happen under their guidance and “leadership”?

OK I will remind you.

Every person has their own circumstances. The preposterous, insane blame that you are taking up for Marxist goals and divisiveness doe not apply to individuals OR the generation

You are a blithering idiot for even hinting at such moronic idiocy. SHITTY EDUCATION - yeah, you are retarded by the Marxists you carry water for.

A demographic is not even blamable - and I am fairly sure that your generation is the first to be so FCKD UP enough so as to think it is.

You have been responsible, in the way you attempt to blame boomers, for everything for the last 20+ years. Why have YOU become such an evil idiotic bitch without the first clue?

It's your turn moron... SNAP SNAP, BITCH

Yall shite on the advice the Greatest Generation gave y’all, spent our country into oblivion and sold it off to China. So don’t act like y’all are even in the same universe as the Greatest Generation.

frick the Boomers. Take your shitty advice and shove it up y’all’s asses

I'm not a Boomer (born 1981), but this is a shitty thing to say. By and large I am very uncomfortable with the the ease that so many people have with blaming all of our current problems on the BB generation. The baby boomers did a whole lot right as well. The sixties counter culture stuff was only a fraction of the population, and it is disingenuous to at like all baby boomers were dope smoking, free love having hippies. My parents sure werent, and none of their friends were either. They were normal, middle class, hard working, conservative folks like MANY of that generation. They elected Reagan and won the cold war.

I dont know. But pointing the finger at our American elders and saying THIS IS YOUR FAULT as they die off just seems wrongheaded, mean-spirited, and frankly just wrong.

So again, how old do you have to be and what percentage of voting age does your generation have to hold to become accountable for what's happening in the country?

Does a man have to be 50 before he can be held accountable and do you need 75% of the voting age population before boomers are no longer the boogeymen?

What is it?

I hear this a lot, but no one really explains what they mean. So please, spell out exactly what it means that your parents mortgaged you and your children for their own comforts.

Thank you for demonstrating the first brain in anyone to have been born post-1981

Houses were exceedingly cheap during the great recession, did you have the balls to go out and buy one?

And whining about boomers not leaving the workforce is pretty odd. You seem to be saying you can't compete with a bunch of old people. Do you really feel that inferior?

and let's not act like the Greatest Generation was flawless. we can thank them for ushering in feminism as we know it today, which is one of the biggest western culture destroying cancers there is.

I don't know ANY boomers who want taxpayers to subsidize their life.

I know a shitload of millennials who want taxpayers to subsidize their lives.

Agreed. And it's pretty interesting how this is the case for every generation (except maybe kids today), but somehow the SJWs have taken over.

The problem with the Boomers is they refuse to hand over the potential for wealth and influence that positions of power/leadership bring to the following generations. Their parents did. They should follow that example.

Then they gaslight younger generations for being too immature or “not ready” to handle it.

That being said, my generation, Gen X has not been one to be very vocal or active politically, so we’ve certainly contributed to the current debacle.

Know of? Or personally know?

Social media and Twitter is not representative of millennials

In no way am I saying all boomers are the problem. My parents did take the advice their parents (the greatest generation) gave them and passed them along to us. But to act like Millennials and Gen Z are entirely to blame for the state of our country when we haven’t been able to vote for two decades yet is ridiculous.
