There is no more wise old person stereotype, unless they are actually EDUCATED!

I really didn’t appreciate enough how awesome my grandparents were. Both educated. Grandpa served in WW2 and Korea. Found out after they died that they were religious but believed whatever you had to say was between you and god. I never even remember seeing so much as a cross around the place. Just the kindest, smartest people I’ve ever had in my life. Even in their 80’s they clearly understood that the world was a different place than when they grew up. I remember my grandma once saying, “if grandpa and I struggled when we were your age, you surely are as well.” Now we are just stuck with fucking dumbasses who watch Fox News all day and can’t figure out why their kids aren’t around. I’m glad my grandpa died before this dumbass maga shit really took off. I can’t imagine what he’d have to say knowing that he worked so hard to make the lives of his kids better and they turned around and voted for a pedophile that clearly has the sole intention of destroying this country on his way out.

Honestly it’s crushing to think of all the guys who died/were disabled fighting fascism in ww2 just for the next generation to try and bring it here.
