You're getting shite on, and rightfully so, but I don't see how this isn't true.

They did max out the country's credit card and future generations will have to pay it off. I don't see how you're wrong there.

If you've seen a reputable exit poll survey indicating a majority of Men >65 voted for Harris (much less D+6), post it.

I believe what you're referencing is a supposed vote pattern shift noted in a single survey which is a finding not generally duplicated elsewhere.
i.e.,
quote:

Grok: How did the 2024 Dem-Rep vote breakdown by age?

The 2024 U.S. presidential election saw distinct voting patterns by age group, based on available exit poll data and surveys. Here’s a breakdown of how voters of different ages supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump, with comparisons to 2020 where relevant:

Voters Ages 18–29:
Harris: 52–54% (down from ~60% for Biden in 2020).
Trump: 46% (up from 41% in 2020).
Details: Young voters leaned Democratic but showed a significant shift toward Trump compared to 2020. Young men (18–29) strongly favored Trump (56% vs. 41% for Harris), while young women supported Harris (58–59% vs. 35–42% for Trump). This gender gap widened from 2020, with young men moving 15 points toward Trump.

Voters Ages 30–44:
Harris: ~50% (down from 55% for Biden in 2020).
Trump: ~47% (up from 42% in 2020).
Details: This group tilted slightly Democratic but showed a 5–10-point shift toward Trump compared to 2020. Men under 45 voted for Trump by an 8-point margin (52% vs. 44%), while women under 45 favored Harris by 10 points (52% vs. 42%).

Voters Ages 45–64:
Harris: ~45% (down from 49% for Biden in 2020).
Trump: ~53% (up slightly from 50% in 2020).
Details: This age group leaned Republican, with men showing stronger support for Trump (net favorability +15) and women more divided. Economic concerns like inflation were key drivers for Trump’s support here.

Voters Ages 65 and Older:
Harris: ~39–46% (down from 48% for Biden in 2020).
Trump: ~49–56% (steady or up slightly from 50% in 2020).
Details: Older voters favored Trump, consistent with historical Republican strength in this group. Women over 65 were more likely to support Harris (54% favorable vs. 46% unfavorable), while men over 65 strongly backed Trump (net favorability +16).

These idiots protesting live in lily white neighborhoods and compete for who has the best lawns.

They pay illegals to clean their houses and manicure their lawns.

If an outsider moves into their neighborhood and doesn’t have the correct pedigree, they all have a conniption fit.

Ironically, when they leave their conclaves, they are potentially the same group that criminal illegal aliens will victimize.

Everyone has different reasons to hold hands in this protest. Some are pissed that Little Debbie’s are now $1 dollar a piece instead of .25 cents.

They were greatest generation and silent generation. Not the awful boomers.
The 'Greatest Generation' was the generation responsible for the 1960's and the shitty legislation that caused most of our current issues. Boomers were mostly children, only the oldest Boomer was able to vote in this critical timeframe.

You could say Boomers could have done something about the Civil Rights Act, Hart-Cellar Act, etc, when it could have been done without taboo. And that is a legitimate criticism. The H1B Act of 1990 was the worst of the Boomers faults, in my opinion.

However, the Greatest Generation is primarily responsible for the current state of affairs.

You're not a "villain." You're just very poorly informed and emotionally irrational.

You act as if someone has taken something from you.

You espouse that belief in a fiat economy where wealth is continually created. It is an economy which allows such upward mobility that the richest two people on the planet are a self-made Gen X and a self-made Millennial. So your contentions are bizarre. Millennials, for all their stereotypical financial mistakes, are still doing far far better than their EU, UK, Canadian or Australian cohorts.

Boomers took ALL they wanted and now want to lecture... Might as well give up the Country, you tried to destroy it in 1969.

No wonder Gen X was jaded from the start....a silent protestor of wasteful and misguided activism, the whatever rebuke of Orwell's 1984.

there were tons of Boomers in Reagan’s administration.
At the time of RR's election in 1980, the oldest "boomers" were 34yrs old. The youngest were not yet eligible to vote.

Further, SS faced solvency problems not dissimilar to those we're facing today. SS actions in 1983 raised payroll taxes, increased retirement age, cut back on COLA, and taxed "benefits." Those changes supposedly fixed SS, and were largely shouldered by "boomers."

So it's not like we've not walked that tight-rope before.

Silents, Boomers, etc. grew wealth. Now it's your turn. Everyone doesn't get a trophy IRL. Create yours just as previous gens did.

All they had to do was donate a million dollars to a child castration org and progressives lined up to give them head.

I think this was tallying a shift, not current numbers.

So, during the last few years that was the shift, Trump/Republicans can still have the majority currently.
