Politics It's the economy, stupid! Gas, healthcare, & chickens!

Even Thanos only wanted to kill half of all people... But that was Avengers, so not relevant...

 

I love Batman, but as the newer iterations came out it was clear he was actually the antagonist in many ways. I highly recommend the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman. He found his humanity again at the end of that and became more of a uniter in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Bane took the populist message of Bernie Sanders and turned it into a weapon. Even he recognized it couldn't be saved. Perhaps I have some Bane in me. A little bit of Joker to prove the rules are bullshit.

 

Is it bad for me to get somewhat excited for a major recession. Honestly, I want it to particularly be harsh for Trump voters.

 

I think it is bad to wish for that. It's kind of hard not to, though...

 

If you want increased deaths.

 

Darwinism. Sucks that people would be stupid enough to vote for their own demise.

 

This is not exclusive to one side. Both parties are against the interests of its voters.

 

Dems could have avoided this if they weren't also on the take from lobbyists.

 

Says the guy whose generation enjoyed the most spoils and resources this nation has ever given. Sure thing.

 

Just one more poor, put upon Boomer Blamer. I won't speak for my fellow Boomers but this country didn't "give" me anything (except perhaps white privilege. And that is a world wide thing). And I personally am sick and tired of being blamed or dissed by people like you who are unhappy with their lot in life. I ate a great deal of shit, both literally and figuratively to be able to have what I have and I don't owe anyone an apology. "Spoils" is a stupid word because we, as individuals did not "take" from anyone. I have paid into Social Security since I was 12 years old and into Medicare since I was 14 years old (the year Medicare was created). I have earned what I have through my own efforts. If you are unhappy with how things are, blame the rich, the oligarchs and the ignorant, intellectually lazy and/or bankrupt people who support them. But quit shitting on the heads of the very people who are pretty much in the same boat as you, regardless of generation or what we might have been able to accomplish despite the numerous roadblocks that WE had to face. Attitudes like yours are EXACTLY what the MAGA crowd are trying to instigate in order to keep the rest of us divided and unable to respond effectively. Quit playing their game.

 

Who is blaming boomers? Not I. Lots of deflection in your post. Telling me I don't enjoy my life or am unhappy is a tell. I probably enjoy my life more than most. My concern is for my fellow Americans who can't afford simple things like healthcare and housing. If my concern makes me an unhappy person, then so be it.

What you got is what is what everyone should get. But the rules have changed, haven't they? But it's rich when boomers tell younger generations to vote this way or that way when it isn't making a dent in the system. Shitting on voters who voted differently than you is how you keep people divided. Convincing yourself that people who voted differently are the problem. Wake up and stop playing their game. You putting words in my mouth isn't going to help. I've never once blamed boomers, but don't come around here acting like things are fine and dandy and if we just vote a certain way it'll magically get better.

That ain't it.
