Good. These dumbasses mostly voted for this, and they're getting their reward.
Actually, boomers are mostly leftist. It's the young who are really flocking to the right these days.
The boomers voted Republican for more tax cuts during their prime earning years, but now they're all collecting government benefits so they're Democrats again. It was their biggest voting bloc in the last election.
It's actually the case around the world that the youth, and particularly young men, are shifting hard right.
Looking at the exit polling, it’s pretty split with the 65+ crowd. Democrats lost a lot of young voters, but still have the majority of the youth.
2016 by comparison
You're underestimating that generation's ability to hate non-white people. A lot of them care about that hatred enough to sabotage themselves in other ways.
