Besides the fact that diversity, equality and inclusion essentially means “fairness” which is something everyone should be behind, what they’re doing is forcing institutions to expend time, energy and resources to defend their polices.

It will reduce the schools’ ability to address these and other essential needs for students, like school lunches and actual education.

Thanks, non-Kamala voters.

I'm feeling like a blamer lately myself. People 1) still punching down on the dems, or 2) the people outside the USA that group USA voters together while ignoring the international cabal of illiberal rich people that attacked our election, they are really getting on my nerves. Some of those illiberal rich are even from the countries of those people blasting us for putting Trump in power.
Tony S. voted for Democrats
Can’t argue with that.

First, I obviously agree about the Democrat-blaming. As we’ve said many times around here, they can’t use power they don’t have and on top of that, I’ve seen some big accounts actually telling lies about that and the past.

Second, I’m also annoyed at the people outside the USA grouping us all together. I am unpleasantly surprised about that.

And yes, how people are forgetting that last part is really…interesting.

Stereotyping often leads to prejudice and discrimination.

Americans do it constantly with their “Ok, Boomer”.

Put that kind of thinking on a Cartesian plot. Their Y value will always equal 1 no matter the X value.

I call it flatline thinking. They are flatliners.

I am not surprised.

I'm sure there are some decent Boomers out there but they are a small minority.

A clear majority of the current despots in the world are Boomers. Putin 1952. Xi 1953. Erdogan 1954. Trump 1946. Orban 1963.

The trend of greedy exploitive criminals is hard to deny. Time will win in the end. Always does.

Good observation on the ages. Most other boomers are unemployable right now, including me. We never liked those greedy dicks either. Why are they still working? Because they are greedy dicks. And now they are ruining the world. 🤢

I have hopes still.
But time is running out for the Boomers to correct their legacy.
History will be harsh if the irresponsible neglect continues.

Seeing their ages, I wonder how many are middle children? Boomers those ages were not usually the oldest of the youngest.

according to this site, 36% of USA boomers are already deceased. X'ers are the best bet for getting rid of the killer boomers in charge.

I'm 63. Born in November 1961. I lived through the end of Jim Crow. This sickens me to see other Boomers eagerly turn their backs on what they and their parents and grandparents fought for. Including Boomers of color. I hate to see this country return to the days when Blacks and Latinos couldn't shop in certain stores and were limited in where they could go to school,live or work. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Probable middle child boomers turn into despotic killers when they got power. Yikes. I'm wondering about all the wars around the world in the 1960's, a lot of people's big brothers were killed in battle. Even if theirs wasn't, their neighbors would have been.

Some people are just looking for someone to blame, rather than looking forward. Toxic masculinity plays a HUGE role in how the last election went, and NEWS FLASH: “boomers” are a minority of voters.

I'm surprised how many boomers who are Democrats, or call themselves "blue dots in red states." They're very vocal supporters of the #Resistance. I never see any posts from anyone disparaging people because of their age--young or old--on Bluesky. Just sayin'.

I’m a “boomer”, and I will tell you that those “boomers” who voted for him this time are dug in and will not change. We have to focus on the young people, mostly young men who were swayed by the likes of Joe Rogan and his toxic masculinity, as the older people die off. Also stupid ass non-voters.

the billionaire owned media supported Trump and only covered information favorable to him. Recall Harris would not do interviews with them? That's why.

Democrats were split at the youth vote because of a year extracting demands from colleges around the world.

States Biden had flipped like Georgia and Arizona in 2020, flipped back to Republicans.

Then the debate happened and everyone bailed on Biden, 80 days before the election.

Sowing disarray in the other camp? Wow, knowing all the details — a bold move! It's just a bit too… precise, not what I usually expect from him 😅
Otherwise it's like: "Look at this man, laugh at him — he's old! I'll be just like him by the end of my term if I take the office",— like… what? 🤪

Boomer here. I’ve been a democrat my entire life, along with most of my friends. Maybe people living in red states have a different perspective, but blaming my generation for all of this isn’t helpful. What is helpful is getting the truth out there and getting non-voters to vote, and getting young voters to understand the peril they are putting themselves in by voting for the gop.
RememberUsAlways
I'm simply pointing out the facts of your generation producing ALL of the current world despots.

I can list them for you again if you like. Attacking me won't change the facts.

I’m thousands of levels of not into throwing blame at a group of people by age. It’s weird.

That a lot of a certain sort of person is in a position of power isn’t causation and could be related to the time it takes to get there. Younger or older people than that aren’t immune from being shitheads.

And nobody insulted anyone.

Maybe there are better uses of our time than “boomer” attacks.
PNW Deb
Thanks Tony. I’m going to jump in every single time my generation gets attacked. We are the generation who fought for abortion rights and civil rights when we were young, but many younger people don’t know that.
RememberUsAlways
I have plenty of time, as a Gen X, to point out simple facts.

It's the leaders of this world we live in that share the responsibility of this shit show and they just happen to all be Boomers.

I could be a total dick and suggest it's time for the entire generation to retire but let's try to accept simple facts with dignity.

Wait, what is the argument here? People running the world now tend to be old. The Silent Generation is (mostly) dead, Gen X is too small, the Millennials are gearing up to be next in line. If you're a world leader right now, despot or not, the likelihood is you're a Boomer. That's all that's left.
PNW Deb
And how is that helpful? We are a nation in crisis right now and need people to lead the way forward. Blaming people, and getting them riled up is what got us into this mess. Felon 47 ran on grievances all 3 times. No solutions, just grievance and victimhood.
PNW Deb
Since “boomers” are a minority voting group, where was your generation in the last election? Sitting it out? Listening to toxic masculinity talk radio and voting for their “strong man”, or voting for Jill Stein in “protest”? Younger people are the majority who voted for this debacle.
