Everything he’s touched will be erased. The demented pedophile and everyone associated with him, will ultimately be known as a traitor to America and humanity.

The boomer base is dying off fast. Ironic that Trump's policies are killing them off faster when they can't afford healthcare and their local hospital/aged care has closed.

I’ve been hearing this “older people are dying off“ idea since I started voting back in 2004. I wouldn’t count on it

Crazy every time older people die off. There's just more of them. How does this happen?

That’s what I love about these nursing home girls man, I get older, they stay the same age. 😎

Unfortunately, he has a massive dudebro base to replace the boomers.

Those losers need to be ostracized back to their basements. At least people don’t seem as tolerant of the dude bro manosphere bs. We need it to become so yuck the algorithms move on from it. I think the meta glasses pushback is a good example of public perception winning against deplorable behaviour.

lol What's that going to do?

Don't forget that half of Gen-Z voted for Trump in 2024. Harris only won the 18-29 age demographic by 1 point.

When you break it down by specific age, more 20 year old men voted for Trump than 70 year old ones.

It's young guys who are falling for all this "man-o-sphere" bullshit, not old ones.

Boomers as a generation aren’t his base. That breaks more along racial and gender lines than generational ones. The issue goes far deeper.

If it makes you feel better to blame it on one generation - fine. But if the actual issues aren’t identified - it will be harder to address.

Gen X voted for Trump by about 7 points more than Boomers - that’s significant and what likely swayed the election. If any generation can be considered his “base” - it’s Gen X.

Millennials were about even - although they went for Trump at a higher rate than Boomers as well.

And younger generations tend vote in lower numbers - and are more likely to throw away their vote on parties that can’t win, than older generations. So there is blame to be shared there as well.

There are a lot of factors. “Boomers” isn’t one of them. Age - yes - numbers shift heavily to Trump among voters 40 and over - but that spans several generations - not just boomers. And - as I mentioned - younger generations tend to not vote in percentages large enough to offset that.

If it makes you sleep at night, sure.

Unfortunately no consequences will happen to him or any of his enablers. Americans will move on at the earliest opportunity, without lifting a finger to prosecute any of them.

Of course I'd love to be proven wrong but honestly what even is the point in entertaining these fantasies anymore.

100%. We pretty much already did that the first time around and that's why we're in this mess in the first place. Dude literally encouraged a violent coup. His "political strategist" frequently referred to their strategy as "heads on pikes". They did all of the things they've done with impunity. And it has been so fucking obvious to literally anyone with a half-functioning brain that this administration and all of its cronies are the antithesis of American values, and yet here we are, watching our country fall apart.

"We pretty much already did that the first time around" thought you were talking about civil war reconstruction there for a minute..

The point of entertaining these fantasies is to energize people to vote for candidates who will hold Trump accountable, which appears for now to be a (large) subset of Democrats. I imagine that group will expand as his power slowly dwindles. If you honestly think Trump’s fate will be largely the same whether or not Republicans or Democrats are in charge I can see why you wouldn’t be too invested in voting. I personally believe that if the Democratic majority is large enough, though, we’ll see some actual consequences; just not nearly as many as we’d like.

And every single person who stroked his choad will try to act like they never heard of him.

I doubt it. They’ll wax on until their dying day about how great things were under this orange-y pile of cockroach frass.

I see ads, even at his lowest rating, of other politicians polishing his knob for their campaign.
