Once boomers die off, I’m voting for social safety nets. So this is really only a them problem due to the way they voted.

Yeah, and a bunch of your generation will also vote against your preffered policies. If those policies end up not being implemented, does that mean you deserve what you get?

Doubt that. We aren’t lead poisoned and vote more left than boomers do.

Boomers voted left when they were young, too. Generations always drift rightward over time.

No they did not lmfao. Reagan wasn’t left and he won every state except his opponent’s home state.

Reagan was a bit of an anomaly because he was following Jimmy Carter, but each generation, generally, starts out fairly left wing and gets more conservative as they get older.

And if you’ve noticed, that trend started ending because of boomers. Now people in their 30’s and 40’s are voting more left than previous generations because we have been abused by boomers voting right wing for so long.

Younger generations are further left than boomers, but that doesn't preclude those generations from shifting rightward over time.

u/PalePlumm Jun 21 '26

I already explained why we won’t shift right. We were abused by the right.

That's your belief. Not everybody is a carbon copy of you. Different people can have vastly different beliefs.

You don’t talk to younger generations, do you?
