    we hate boomers more than you do

    this is the first meme i’ve seen mention gen x at all and no, we are not like boomers, they all said that “we used to drink out of a hose” bullshit to us too… helmet and seatbelt laws started with x

    seriously fuck you, and fuck boomers.

    you know why congress is all geriatric? that’s because they know how bad gen x wants to burn everything down and they won’t let them take the wheel….

    now zoomers are all voting for trump and becoming nazis. Lump zoomers and boomers together but not us.

      Speaking of factually wrong things… There was a larger portion of Gen X voters for Trump than there were Zoomers… by a large margin.

      In fact, Trumps biggest demographic in the last two elections was ages 50-64. But sure, you’re totally the good guys and it’s the young people who are the cause of all your problems. Totally not proving the exact point you’re arguing against.

        while technically true, on paper, not by very much… i guess somehow it’s more upsetting when i see young people doing it.
        like shouldn’t most have you have progressed by now? also they’re going to live a lot more.

        at any rate the election was stolen, and it’s been conclusively proven by election truth alliance, but since they’re statisticians they can’t outright say it. (and reddit r/somethingiswrong2024, but they’ve branched out to much broader topics… the sidebar is good).
        also, i salute you in our shared hatred of trump voters, whatever age they are, comrade.
        (also i’m not in that age bracket).

      Gen X is very closely following a lot of the same patterns boomers did including being much better off financially. Your rugged individualism is classic boomer too.

        TIL I’m much better of financially when I’m one missed check away from homeless, have one car and zero “toys” like boats or trucks or whatever. You can go fuck yourself by the way.

        Edit: old used car, it’s not even nice. Fucker.

        wait! i’ve seen this pattern before:

        rugged individualism

        meaningless cliché that doesn’t even slightly apply to this scenario.

        lot of the same patterns boomers did

        baseless, vague condemnation

        being much better off financially

        absolutely made up stats….

        OK, zoomer… you’re much closer to boomers than gen x or millennials, and it fucking hurts me. I really had hope for your generation but you’re all out there saluting hitler and shit
