A lot of boomer behavior and beliefs make sense when you realize this. A lot of them were raised by whatever garbage was on TV due to neglectful parents. Do yourself a favor and watch an episode of one of these shows some time. MASH, Gilligans Island, the Andy Griffith Show, etc. Pure escapism. Simple black and white moralistic protestsnt values. Now realize that when boomers reminisce about a time when "townspeople knew the local cop" that this never existed. They are literally just going off what they seen on the andy griffith show as a kid during their formative years.

    I think it makes sense when you realize that boomers LOVE TV. And most boomer shows are simple narratives with "good guys" and "bad guys". Cop shows, court dramas, fake judge shows, soap operas, MSNBC, etc.

    As much as they shit on "kids these days". ALOT of boomers were the original ipad kids. Raised by TV due to neglectful parents.

    "What about Jan 6?"

    Uhh what about it? A couple trumpers and some cops died. Who cares. We're literally funding the deaths of thousands of palestinians. J6 was nothing more than a slight temporary inconvenience.

    I really hope Trump loses for this reason. I really want these people to stop pretending they care about politics because they think Trump is mean.

    I asked her why we can fund documented genocide when we cant even provide our own people with healthcare. She just told me that was a "soundbite" and otherwise didnt process what I said.

    I feel like baby boomers just cant process things that might challenge or conflict with their worldview. Which is usually morally black and white and reflective of 80s sitcoms where theres some stupid lesson at the end.

    He also says everything Trump says is a lie but also will tell me about whatever evil thing Trump plans on doing if reelected and I say I thought everything he said is a lie

    This has to be some sort of boomer thing. They must think that if someone is bad, that theyre a liar and that if someone lies theyre automatically bad.

  • While I've certainly seen a lot of posts and cases about the other side of the coin. And not to dismiss this. I've seen plenty of stories and accounts of people who have lost family members to the cult of the "cheeto man" himself. But my mom has gone complete bonkers since 2016 for an entirely different reason. Shes obsessed with hating Trump. From 2016-2021 it was like 99% of what she would talk about. Hell, its gotten a tiny bit better but its still like 50% on a good day of what she talks about at any given time still. During the Mueller era, she had CNN practically 24/7. So much so that one of the headlines literally burned into her TV. She would post and show anyone she talked to anti Trump memes, songs, etc. People started disconnecting from her and she just had this "Well I guess they dont like what I havr to say! They're Trumpers anyways." Pretty much lacking any self awareness into how unhinged the election made her and fully leaning into it. This is a woman who went from not voting and not really caring for either side of the political aisle to running for and becoming a school board member. She was so insufferable in this position that she took a 4 year break because no one liked her, ran again, and resigned because no one on the board or at the school likes her. Fortunately, I havent lived with her for the most part since COVID, aside from like 3 months when I was in between apartments due to a breakup at the time. But I do still love her and miss the old her from before Trump became president so I keep in semi touch with her. But I had a conversation with her recently about this election that makes me question the sanity of most of these boomer libs. Despite knowing Im not voting for kamala or Trump, she keeps pushing me. Texting "your vote counts. Theres only 2 candidates" over and over. Even though I literally live halfway across the country from her in California. Shes running short of harassing me to vote for Kamala. And then out of the blue she calls me literally just to talk about this. Spews the same old zionist bullshit that "we should fund Israel, its just Bibi whos bad!" And that "Israel-Palestine is just ONE issue anyways". And so on the usual crap about J6 and shit. I said something like "kamala and trump are both evil, Trump is just honest about it". And she literally goes off "YOU THINK TRUMP IS HONEST! YOU MUST BE DRINKING THE KOOL AID SON! DONALD TRUMP IS ANYTHING BUT HONEST." Basically calling me a Trumper for the mere suggestion of Trump being honest about something. Much less, honest about him being evil. Before hanging up and saying I have nothing better to do. Despite her bothering me about the subject, her calling me to argue, and her lack of being able to talk about much of anything else. Does anyone else have any stories of crazy lib relatives post 2016? I feel like I cant be the only one.

    Right? Like no one is telling you that you have to wreck your mental health by focusing all your energy into how fucked we are but dont live in delusion. Especially when younger people are going to face the consequences.

    Lib family member took this photo while they were campaigning for Kammy in Michigan. The rest of the office was covered in "_____ for Kamala/Walz" posters. This is all they have left. Shallow attempts at identity politics and blue maga cult like idolization of normie centrist libs.

    Gavin Newsom fully admits here that he cares more about the race to be the American Empire's next cheerleader than a vote for a proposition that actually fucking matters. These local referendums in CA for propositions are one of the few elections that actually matter. Proposition 36 would essentially criminalize homelessness and poverty, increase prison time for nonviolent offenders and potentially even hold drug dealers liable for murder for people overdosing. Its absolutely horrendous, is polling with overwhelming support and Gavin Newsom is too busy campaigning to be Kamalas next HUD secretary or whatever.

    Dont you understand? It was all part of the master plan just so Donald "orange man" "Drumpf" can lose to a black woman. By this logic, god sacrificed thousands of children in palestine, millions of lives during COVID, and made Hillary lose in 2016 just so DJT could lose to a black woman! It was all a giant 4D chess move where humanity was forced to lose just so we could have an opportunity to own "cheeto hitler"!
