iots is correct. I am on the younger edge of boomer’s, but I loathe the hippy dipshits. They are some worthless folks who have never been successful at anything but whining and bitching. Their time is about to be over fortunately. Not a moment too soon.

Yep, I was born in 69. My oldest brother and sister was born in the mid to late 50s. They were both libtards and never accomplished anything in life. I loved them but they had a really screwed up view on everything.

Just did a mental poll of the boomers known socially and 80% rage about Trump repeat whatever they saw on Facebook that day.

Silver-TDS has been gaining steam over the past decade. Worse than Trump 1.0 for sure. People that hate Trump mad as they ever were.

I'm 64, and I don't get it.

She is an engineer with a masters and very, very intelligent.

I corrected that for you. A big mistake even the most intelligent make is confusing smart with intelligent.

For 33 years I worked around engineers. My grandpa was one and one of my sons is one. I worked with Chem Es, Mech Es, Elect Es ... white, black Indian (dot), S. American, male, and female. The best ones were humble and knew the difference between smart and intelligent.

Your friend doesn't sound very smart and based on your diagnosis of us geriatric people I have my doubts about you.

Because it seems that most people who are retirement age..... they binge watch news networks every day. And msm fearmongers constantly about how Republicans are going to take away their social security. A lot of them don't have the know how to easily determine what is bullshite.

My dad was like that. He didn't know anything about the internet, and only watched MSNBC, CNN and ABC news. It was easy for msm to fool him. He didn't like fox news because the other msm convinced him that fox news was just fake news and propaganda. Msm convinced him that the 2020 riots were just a conspiracy theory by right wingers, and never took place. It was surreal, but I understand... a lot of people, older one gets the easier they are to deceive. And MSM exploits that fact.


It's depressing. Because in 40 years, when I'm in my 80s.. what may be used to easily fool me.. and exploit my lack of understanding of whatever tech is available at that time.

Half are leftover hippies and angry the utopia never materialized.

The other half still think a president should act like the fake image of a politician from the Leave it to Beaver era. Never mind Eleanor was playing for the other team while her husband withered away, Truman literally went broke, Ike was sleeping with his driver, and JFK would f*** anything that walked and had the herpes to prove it.

Donald Trump is so uncouth...

They are incompetent fools.

And Johnson urinated on his secret service agents and tried to force his mistress to have an abortion.

But Hoover and Coolidge were good guys...

Oh wait, Harding was banging his mistress in the white house closet...

I'm in my mid seventies. My high school class probably runs 4:1 conservative. This is deep South. The boomer liberal fools that I know well were almost all misfit liberals in college,. Emphasis on misfit. The girls typically homely and the guys typically mama's boys. I swear I had to teach a couple of them how to throw a ball. The others sprang from two sources, those who became lawyers and those who became State or Fed employees .

Because they watch CNN all day everyday

This is really the simple answer. They do not web surf to find other points of view or do their own research and way back CNN was a good source of news and they just stuck with it believing everything CNN says nowadays is truth.
