I will maybe make an exception for boomers. Fuck the lead-brained "me first" generation.
Hear hear!
I hate the people who did not vote against him so much it hurts.
The good old FAFO. Zero sympathy for the MAGA voters and I do not wish them luck for the shitshow they created. Return your diplomas and recycle your asses.
Under half of all eligible gen z voters voted like 47 percent. Worthless dog turd humans. Enjoy the shit show morons.
And our generation had better voter turnout when we were their age? It doesn't seem much different from voter turnout in general.
It’s a shame idiots didn’t listen to those of us who said exactly what would happen. You fucked around. Now you found out. And in the meantime the rest of us got screwed. Gee, thanks.
It a shame they didn’t listen to Trump.
He said EXACTLY what he was going to do.
"I'm gonna run this country like one of my companies."
Like a fascist dictator, right into the ground...
I’ll never understand how they could ignore literal millions of loved ones and trust a rich spoiled known scammer to change things for the better for them and not himself, on top of all of us explicitly saying he and republicans will purposely crash the economy and hurt innocent people for fun in the name of religion and conservatism.
'The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face—as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocating under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who could not spell "precipice" if his life depended on it.'
People will belive anything if they want it,or fear it to be true.
Don't cry, Zoomers. At least you don't have to live under the socialist tyranny of health care, time off from work, and fully funded public services.
socialist tyranny of health care
Lot of Gen Z is under 26, which means they can be under their parents healthcare. Have a coworker that's in that and until my job he didn't realize healthcare costs for insurance that comes out of paychecks. Like I told him, save up while he can be under his parents insurance.
But anyone older than, at this moment, being born after 10/18/2000 is now falling into the insurance pile.
Sucks... but this is the choice the country made.
A: "Don't touch that - fire has a long history of hot."
B: "Ow, fire hot!"
A: "You fuckin moron, I just told you it's hot!"
...
A: "Hey, remember fire? Its back, still hot. Don't touch it this time."
B: "HELP! IT BURNS!!!"
A: develops drinking problem
It's not about the kids tho...
The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development.
It's about how instead of making them think, we taught them to just fucking Google shit and believe what it says.
"Oregon Trail generation" who grew up using computers but still having to learn legacy methods was the sweet spot, and there's absolutely nothing stopping us from returning to that.
Absolutely none of us use the Dewey Decimal system, but having to go to libraries and physically walk around pulling cards and finding books built critical thinking.
Typing in "Harry Potter" on a computer and getting a PDF doesn't build any skills.
The human brains biggest strength is offloading and being lazy. If the system thinks it doesn't need skills because they can be offloaded, it just won't learn them. Then at 22-23 when it's harder to learn those skills, gen z is finding out they actually need them.
They can be helped, but what's more important is making sure all those little kids right now start getting real educations again.
The Gen Z Trump voters might be the dumbest people on the planet right now. Genuinely.
Like, you expect the boomers to be stupid and impressionable, because ::gestures around::, but not the younger folks.
These people will live with their shame for a lifetime.
Not sure someone unintelligent enough to vote for Trump can experience an emotion as complex as shame.
Realistically, others will be experiencing the shame for them for the rest of their lives while they continue to make poor decisions they feel no shame for.
“I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016 and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled he is. I do not wonder anymore. He won for that exact reason. He was not a candidate. He was a mirror. If you were a racist, you found your guy. If you were a misogynist, you found your guy. If money was your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart was armoured shut, you found your guy. If you mocked disabled people, you found your guy. If you hated intelligent people, you found your guy. If you were a rapist, you found your guy. If you enjoyed golden showers with Russian sex workers, you found your guy. If you had done absolutely nothing to confront your emotional wreckage, you found your guy. If you were a serial cheater, you found your guy. If you were a perpetual bankrupt, you found your guy. If you stiffed honest workers, you found your guy. If you were a conman, you found your guy. If you mocked people’s appearances, you found your guy. If you longed for a toxic Daddy, you found your guy. If you were dissociated and disembodied, you found your guy. If you were unconscionable in every economic dealing, you found your guy. If you lied as naturally as breathing, you found your guy. If you had never eaten a green vegetable, you found your guy. If you were a white supremacist, you found your guy. If your ego contained a hole so large not even the presidency could fill it, you found your guy. If you were a sociopath who cared not one molecule about other humans, you found your guy. If he had only two of these traits, he never would have won. He won because he had hundreds of them, and millions of people recognized themselves in at least one. This has never been about Trump. It has always been about the people who finally had their worst instincts validated. Trump did not create the cruelty, he licensed it. He handed out permission slips for hate. He is merely a symptom of a far deeper disease: collective toxicity. If there is one sentence that explains Trump’s power, it is this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” That is the part that should chill the spine. Who knew that tens of millions of Americans were thinking such unconscionable things about their fellow citizens? Who knew how many white men felt so threatened by women and challenged by minorities that they were ready to torch democracy to feel big again? Who knew that after decades of apparent progress on race and gender, so many people were living in seething resentment, waiting for a demagogue to legitimize their worst selves and convert their bitterness into political power? We were living in a fool’s paradise. We aren’t anymore." — Michael Jochum
ITT: People act smug about Gen-Z when in fact 54% of them voted Harris... And OLDER WHITE MEN were Trump's biggest voting block once again.
...and that's a repeating pattern for Republicans. Stop letting old white men off the hook just because it's more "expected" for them to be shit.
What's more blaming young people is just a way to get MILLENNIALS to BECOME rightwing/old in their opinions.
Gen-Z are fine they're just out there with no idea, trying shit. Like every generation has to in order to find themselves.

Eh. I'm a millennial and we didn't do something like make the manosphere a viable political movement. We just dressed weird and did our hair weird for a while and it was pretty cringey, but not politically dangerous.
But being like every other generation and turning on young people to attack and blame them would be doing something. The wrong something.
I don't think teens wanting to have sex or wanting a way to get it (eg. What the manosphere promised) is new or surprising. I don't think they can blamed for that. I think it was political propaganda... And many of the providers of the content were millennials. From Roosh-V, to Neil Strausss (author of 'The Game') to Andrew Tate. So we didn't do anything other than create it.
...I just don't want to see millennials become another fuddy duddy generation blaming the young so easily. If you're against the manosphere, you should be for showing empathy and understanding. The things the manosphere hates.
Gee, it's not like we warned you, pointed to the pile of shit his first term was and how terrible things got, and before his first term we pointed to all the awful shit he did that he fucking bragged about doing, along with all his failed business dealings (how the fuck do you bankrupt a casino in Atlantic City?) and then pointed out all his shady connections to Russian oligarchs and criminal gangs with believable if difficult to prove implications that much of his income was built on laundering money.
But no no, he TOTALLY was going to do things right this time and lie with every other breathe.
I don't even feel sorry for you fucking morons anymore, if you voted for Trump there really is no excuse anymore.
Gen Z will at least change their votes, hopefully.
They'll probably do whatever social media tells them and all the major social media platforms are owned and operated by fascists.
Who would have thought voting in a pedo con man could make things worse. The majority of the American voters are repulsive.
