re: Muh, how could this happen?

Bob just voted to add tens of millions of people that will do his blue collar work cheaper

That will also rape and kill his grandchildren.

So Bob decided to vote in bunch of liberals to fix the problem?

How does that work?

The strength of a state is measured by its ability to transfer power. By definition, attacking the Capitol and threatening to hang the Vice President all in an attempt to block the transfer of power created a situation where the strength of our state was the weakest in history.

This is high school civics stuff, you should know it lmao.

Fixed it, and I do agree we were at our weakest after Jan 6.

Capitol was never attacked. Who keeps telling you this and why do you keep believing them?

and threatening to hang the Vice President

If what you believe is true, then why has there never been anyone charged with treason or insurrection?

Well I can relate to Bob’s son. Graduated LSU in finance in 1998, got a good job at Morgan Stanley only to have the economy slip when Bill Clinton ordered Janet Reno to break up Microsoft. Found myself back in school and working at a liquor store for two years. Got into the insurance adjuster business soon after. Then comes 9/11. Big slow down. In 2004 I was given the option of being let go or take a job in suburban Chicago. I moved north. Then came 2006-7. The crash. Fearing losing my job yet again due to downsizing, I applied and got a job with the railroad. Many in my class were college grads in the finance and mortgage industry with some Iraq/Afghanistan vets. We all had Long shity hours for the first 10 years. Working weekends and holidays, but you made good/great money. Then I went into management. I still pay my union dues to keep my seniority in case I get let go. It wasn’t on my bingo card in 1998 to work for the railroad in Illinois and Wisconsin. I did what I had to do. Bob’s son kinda has to do the same thing. A college degree doesnt fully guarantee you anything.

That could be London or Toronto as well

And the truth is, many of these young men’s concerns are legitimate. I warned against ignoring them and well, here we are.

OK, they're legitimate. That doesn't make democrats the answer.

And it sure as hell doesn't make burning down the country 200 million people have poured their lives into for decades because young people are pissed they don't have it easy the right thing to do.

No one has it easy. I once put in over 500 applications before I found a job.

Millions of people lost jobs in the 80s. Millions lost their retirements in 2008. The 70s had gas shortages.

The boomers, who all the crybabies whine about, died in Vietnam. Gen X and older millennials died in the desert. My friend lost every person he cared about in his unit.

And these pussies, with the highest standard of living and quality of life any generation has ever had, think their problems are unbearable and the worst ever.

We picked ourselves off of the ground and went back to work when adversity struck. We didn't try to burn down what others had built.

Their reactions make me not care about their problems. Why should I care about helping you when you are threatening to ruin what I've worked for?

Every generation, every group has their own struggles. Young people are not special and do not get to decide to destroy everything we've built out of bitterness and jealousy.
