AGAIN, nearly every single person here at this rally is white and over the age of 65.


Probably all NY refugees.

I’m a boomer and am offended at your claim.



It is also 100% true. I’ve thought the same myself.
They are trying to reclaim their youth by acting out what they think are noble causes that were never actually noble.

what were they "ice out" of? This was on a Sunday so they weren't skipping bingo or anything

A friend of mine in his early 70s posted some photos from the “Ice Out” in Athens this weekend. Everyone, with the exception of some younger blue hairs and effeminate young males, were old geezers. Maybe 50 of them gathered downtown. I don’t normally get into debates on FB posts but I couldn’t help myself on that one.

Black Mountain used to be a great area. Boomers have been slowly pricing locals/middle class out for years and the hurricane finished them off.


I was about to say regarding the OP... They are the only people who can afford to live there.

Boomers ruined this country. Most spoiled and virtue signaling generation ever.


I know right. All those boomers who died in Vietnam were just virtue signaling. All those boomers who grew up before welfare were just spoiled.

It's hilarious you think boomers are more spoiled than millennials and gen z.

It wasn't boomers who were receiving participation trophies.
It wasn't boomers who were passed in school so their feelings wouldn't be hurt.
It wasn't boomers who grew up thinking their feelings were facts.
It wasn't boomers who grew up thinking they had a right to wifi.
It wasn't boomers who showed up to interviews with their mom.
It wasn't boomers who complained about 40 hours a week being too much to handle.

All this generation talk is stupid anyways. Except for Gen X. We're better than all you schmucks.

Being very familiar with that area, none of those people are from North Carolina. They’re all slimy yankee retired transplants who ruined the place they came from.


Just like cancer

They pushed abortion and immigration.

Boomers ranged in age from 1 yo to 19 yo when the immigration act of 1965 was passed, which kicked the whole immigration shitshow off. This century, it's been younger voters substantially more so than older voters that have voted for immigration by numbers and financial support.

Roe v. Wade was decided 21 years before the fist boomer was seated on the supreme court. Data (polls) tell us that the highest degree of support for abortion rights isn't a generational thing, but an age thing - with young people (20-29) persistently most supportive of abortion rights.

Boomers voted for the country we live in now.

Not sure about that, at least not in an exclusive way.

Boomers have done like (I believe) all generations have - they've gotten more conservative with age. This was true for the Silent generation, true for boomers and it's holding true with Gen-X. The most liberal voters this century have been Millennials and Z'ers, who for example got Biden elected.
