“The president single-handedly wiped out Americans’ retirement savings overnight and subjected businesses to intense whiplash with his increasingly erratic and chaotic policies that continue to drive consumer and business uncertainty.”
“I’m so glad things are going back to the way they should be!” -my hyper-republican boomer coworker, this afternoon
The people are just garbage. The worst kind of ignorant shit that plagues this country.
You gotta remember this was DECADES of conditioning. These people have been primed for this from birth. For this moment in time, when they could gleefully collapse anything positive remaining about being American.
Don’t make excuses for idiocy. Many of us grew up in those same places with the same ideas you’re talking about constantly thrown at us and we could see this for what it was long before now. Those people don’t see it because they don’t want to and that’s not anyone’s fault but theirs.
Sure, but there is also the true history of coordinated effort. A lot of people had a lot to gain by making sure a particular generation got brainwashed, and the rest of us are feeling the effects - if you think you’re immune to propaganda, then it’s already too late.
Lots and lots of brainwashing happening in other generations, too. At this point the “boomers” are not the biggest problem.
Boomers and decendants thereof.
I agree that 95% of people are the majority of the problem.
Yeah, so in your opinion, humans get what we deserve? I guess I can’t argue with that.
“Jesus lived in poverty and he did alright.” - A (thankfully former) coworker who disagreed with my assertion that minimum wage should be livable.
Jesus was also murdered by his government, Ian! That’s not what I’d call alright!
Yeah, but then he came back from the dead, became an instant celebrity, struck it rich from crypto, and had like 4 yachts for each of his girlfriends. Don’t you read the bibble?
I really hope your coworker is in their late 50s or 60s so they get the full dose of ‘the way things should be’
lots of weirdos who are happy that certain groups get fucked a little more than they will
