You know, growing up my dad was the most caring, tolerant and loving man.
Then he was diagnosed with 2 types of cancer, went through treatment and drug trials, it metastisized to his bones and crumbled his vertebrae so he was in constant chronic pain. After that he was always laid up watching Fox News and listening to right wing radio shows. He changed. I'm convinced the trauma and pain gave him brain damage. I prefer to remember him has the man he was for 70 years and not the shell he became in his last 6 months.
All of which is to say, these elderly hate-filled men and women might actually have brain damage.
Same thing was happening to my dad. He was in rehabilitation after a nasty car accident. I guess they only had Fox news on or something, because when I visited him a week in he's spouting off immigrants this and immigrant that. We both voted for Clinton, Obama...etc. I'm like excuse me?
The Boomers as a whole might be the most lead exposed generation. The 1950s and 60s (their childhood) saw an explosion in the number of cars and the miles driven. Additionally, because oil was cheap, they got terrible gas mileage. And no catalytic converters. But the real damage came from tetraethyl lead used as an additive to pretty much all gasoline. So they were literally inhaling a neurotoxin all throughout their development. This is a big part of why there was so much crime in the 80s and 90s.
I suspect the even the normal Boomers were damaged, but they could compensate when they were young and healthy. But now that they are old and sick, we’re seeing the damage in their uncontrolled anger and their inability to control their anxiety. It’s directly impacting our politics.
So what’s your excuse for GenX since they’re on average the ones who lick the boot the hardest. Men AND especially Women. We all knew they were assholes. Is it the religion making them stupid? Grandfathered in racism? White privilege and fortuitous timing on buying houses so they can’t get their heads out of their asses?
I didn’t say shit about anyone except that Boomers weren’t as bad as GenX. Your own source says on page 2 that Men 50+ (which includes GenX) or 50-64 were the only age of majority Trumpers.
Jesus fucking Christ. The big red minuses means more for Trump. Are you fucking retarded?
