    Boomers support the 1%. They sabotage any effort to pull power away from the elite.

      And by neglecting them, will they magically learn to do better? Or are we happy to continue with that weight around our necks until they die?

        What exactly do you think we can do? That whole generation has collective brain damage from the leaded gas. They don’t listen or respect anyone younger then themselves that isn’t regurgitating what they already want to hear.

          Why do you think their addled brains default them to fascism?

          They’re being targeted specifically because they’re easy to manipulate. Why are we so against manipulating them ourselves?

            I didn’t say anything about fascism, but there does seem to be a correlation between brain injuries and being a conservative. Gary Busey and RFKjr both come to mind. A shoot in the dark, but empathy might require higher brain function then selfishness. Conservative pundits also offer simple answers to complex questions.

              That’s a very realistic take. I wonder if we can’t use the same tactics somehow. Give them a more realistic enemy to hate and fear. Like the rich.

              Eh… Deprogramming racism is probably really hard though :-/
