Pool exit poll, 63% of voters aged 18-29 supported Democrats, and 89% of Black youth and 68% of Latino youth voted for a Democratic House candidate. With the oldest Gen Zers turning 25 this year, this group includes the youngest Millennials and those Zoomers of voting age.

"By 2024, Millennials & Gen Z voters will outnumber voters who are Baby Boomers and older, 45/25," she added. "We are beginning to see the political impacts of that generational shift."

Stupid [bleep]

Who raised the ones that did?

Stupid [bleep]

Gen X.

LOL

You need to get out more.

The under 35 crowd and single women will fuq this country up at the elections for many years to come. Moreover, these two aforementioned demographic groups tended to not vote 'til now.

Many thanks to the public education (indoctrination) system and the femiNazis who are one issue voters, ie abortion.

Very few Boomer age people have kids in their late teens to early 20s. We're old folks these days. Our kids are hitting middle age.

Gen X is who raised the Zoomer generation.

Markley, Van Kamp and Robbins dug a little deeper into this yesterday, it's not opinion, it's a demographic fact and corelated with this was a University study that Gen Z males had alarmingly low levels of testosterone. Which also seemed to corelate with the huge numbers of unmarried Gen Z kids, 68% of female Gen Z'ers are unmarried...and angry, and have several cats. So now I have come to the conclusion, if you have more than 1 cat, you should be removed form the voter rolls.

So the pot smoking hippies were actually conservative but their kids are all rabidly left?

Try again, dude.

How many generations of "Greatest" and Boomer written law created generations that abhor the idea of marriage?

I hit the very end of the Boomer Gen[late 63 model].
Guarandamntee you my only child voted red.

The Millennials and Zoomers don't even remember the Boomers. In fact, a bunch of the Boomers are in their graves.

It's time for young people to stop blaming grandma and grandpa and take responsibility for themselves.

At this point blaming the Boomers for what's happening today is like blaming Vietnam on the Roaring 20s.

Millennials and Gen Z are mentally and emotionally damaged, and very poorly educated. These toddlers are now running the critical institutions in this country. I fear the United States is in a death spiral, I hope I'm dead before it impacts the ground.

At least someone here gets it.

Ymmv

Breaking down Gen Z by ethnicity helps pin down the causal factors in this. An ethnic shift ushered in by Boomers who fully support it to this day, with the steady hand of International Jewry leading them along.



On the up side, even small towns in the US now have ethnic food restaurants.

Can't believe how many sayings and statements John Laws coined still being repeated here in the US.
Laws went into radio in 1953 (not a typo) and is still on radio in Sydney.

Commonly used the phrases "Sitting behind the golden Microphone" (After Sennheiser presented him with the golden mic for being the most unique speaking voice on radio back in the 80's) "Watermelons" (fake greenies who were red communists on the inside), "Feminazis" ( his term of arrogant professional protesting women and a bunch more over the decades.
Had the power to stop the news because his speaking or interview was the news and the other radio and TV news organizations quoted him at their news breaks. Also had the power to get the Prime Minister, any of them, on the phone to discuss an issue that burned his listeners as he had the largest audiences in the commonwealth being a pioneer of both talkback radio and syndication .

There's your trivia for the day.........

So in the final analysis concerning politics and conservatism as we older folks grew up with……forget it! We ain’t gonna do s hit for changing the s hitshow that our grandchildren are going to have to face!! It ain’t gonna be pretty!

None of mine

Humm, 60/40 like those red counties in Michigan and Pennsylvania

OK, to summarize the above, the consensus is: societal breakdown can be traced back to the boomers. Got it. The trend toward progressive socialist policy, or, Donkey Party preference in all the blue states can be traced to Californians emigrating to those states, most recently Pennsylvania. Got it.
The fount of wisdom on the fire makes the complex simple, for which I am thankful.

You misspelled Jews.

Jag?

Are you fugking retarded?

I have three (known) kids. They interact with their Boomer grandparents daily.

Do your kids know that their grandparents destroyed the country? Maybe you should clue them in on that.

One word,


Universities!

Breeding houses of Bolshivism.

Especially since the end of WWII

Yes my kids are being taught that the Boomers were the counter-culture generation of the United States.

I don't know any conservative that isn't using the Boomers as the example of what fugked this country up. Doesn't mean there are no good Boomers or that all Boomers are bad. But in the terms of generations, they are/were the fugk ups.

LOL, the "pot-smoking hippies" were a small fraction of the boomers.

Here is Robert "The Kike" Reich, celebrating his tribe's accomplishment of using his generation as a vehicle for exactly that.

One of the guys that doing hard time for the January 6 riot, his own f aggot limp dick son turned him in to the fbi. He even testified against him. We have/had a lot of limp dick dads raiding limp dick sons. This is coming from a guy who doesn’t have kids or a wife or a house a car a savings account. Nugget

You can add the k-12 public education system as well. The federal Department Of Education (DOE) needs to be dismantled. Local school boards lose their soul to get the dollars from DC ..... not giving a $hit that the federal money always comes with strings attached.

No they weren't.

wow, this leaves me trying to figure out who's been chanting "Fugk Joe biden" at collage football games, pro sports in general Games, NazCar races .....

perplexing it is

B I N G O on both counts.

So, you observed it yourself in the 60s?

Sometimes I think people forget what year group boomers are from. Nugget

The fricking Liberal, Communist indoctrinated teachers that taught them all the woke BS is who raised them..A lot of Gen X'ers were Trump supporters, probably a majority of them, doesn't mean our kids did not get f'ed up by the schools and society..

Gen X was pretty much raising ourselves by the time we were 7/ 8 years old with both parents out of the house working so we probably took our hands off the wheel a little when it came to raising our own children because that is what we were taught by the Boomers that raised us. The schools and society at large took advantage of this situation and planted Commies all over the place to indoctrinate our kids. The country changed quickly...There were no longer villages of good people all over to influence children in the right direction, and church became less and less of a factor as we got older.

We were the last great generation that actually prayed at school, pledged the flag, and had guns in our gunracks in the high school parking lot. It's all downhill after Gen X..

This^^^should be graven in stone.
Of my contemporaries (b 1946), the ones who went on to higher education, tend toward the firm belief that central government can and does solve problems.
Showing them irrefutable historical evidence of failure after failure, results in a statement, "Oh yeah, we got that wrong, but we learned from it, and we can get it right this time." Mostly I refer to the "Great Society" which single handedly drove the African people of this nation right back to 1862, since in my opinion there is no difference between dependence on the slave owner or the govt welfare voucher.

That's a monumentally stupid question.

Gen X grew up around all forms of Boomers. The empirical data doesn't need to be gained in the 1960's.

It's not my fault
Typical answer from younger generations,,,,,,,,,,,,,, laffin

That is correct.

The generations that preceded my own are not my fault.

Jew-run media, communist-run public schools, Jew-run social media. Parents hardly interact with their kids, and haven't since the boomers were kids.

Nor are those after yours

Those might be your thoughts but they're not mine.

Uhhhh....

LOL, that's a monumentally stupid answer.

Because it's not an answer to the question. The question was, what percentage of boomers were pot-smoking hippies. If you weren't there and didn't see it, you're talking out your ass when you pretend to know the answer.

well the time of hippies and pot smoking were from the Vietnam era to the mid-70s. so you say the average age is 16 or older for a pot headed hippie so that would put all of that in the boomer generation

Not recognizing that actions you take today can affect people in the future is a classic Bread and Circuses Boomer move.

I’m almost 70 years old. My kids are between 31 and 40 years old. Not a dem voter among them or their spouses. You’re welcome. Edk

So your insinuating no one smoked pot before the hippies? Seems to me it was the boomers parents, that made, Reefer Madness. Short minded today aren't you! If you weren't there you don't know sch itt about the times, of the hippies! Only what big brother wants you to know!

Waaaaaa it ain't my fault we act like this.....................laffin

That wasn't the question either.

Hollywood, the MSM, Instagram, FB, Twitter and TikTok .... and our [bleep] educational system.

That isn't what anyone is claiming you simpleton.

nope not insinuating that at all just saying that's what's kind of known as the big era of pot

What actions by the generations preceding the Boomers caused the Boomer generation to do whatever it is they did?

Which generation was it that started slipping down the slope that led to the Boomer generation?

Can you make change from a $5 bill?

well to answer a question that I'm not sure what the question really was lol. some things that boomer generation seen . life was made easier for many of them by the accomplishments of their parents and grandparents during world war I and world war II. life was affordable and fairly easy. as their generation became teenagers and young adults drugs of any kind became more mainstream birth control was readily available that had not been before. and many other lifestyle changes. generation x had conflicting elders depending on their habits they picked up good or bad things were getting more expensive to live and that's when fuel started going up in proportion and when the millennials started out they were getting into the computer generation very early.

I don't know a single Gen X or Millennial that checked into a hotel because there was a chance of an ice storm, so there is that.

Jesus Christ.

LOL

Genx crowd raised socialist sissies , because we grew up alone and had parents working all the time. We took care of ourselves> Our parents drank and partied in the high times of the 70s and 80s. The Genxers pledged to " Make it better for our kids" and made them Sissies unable to do anything. I chose not to reproduce ......

Generally speaking.....those that the most insecure about it are the worst offenders.

Yep.

Lot to unpack there.

LOL

The way I see it is this,

Between the Roe/Wade thing, and the promises of Student Debt forgiveness, the Dems successfully played on women, and the ignorance of youth.

Being born into one of the greatest economies in history was one of the primary factors. Part of the "good times make weak men" cycle.

Not that any Boomer has ever accepted responsibility for the results of anything he did (your post illustrates that nicely), but that one isn't on you.

They all want free schit.
They don't want to work their way up foodchains.


Not all
But a significant % of them.
Espeically the urban rat ones....

Divide & Conquer.

FACT > the USA as we've known is gone and isn't coming back.

USA I left in 1983 and came back into in 2008.

180° polar opposite for the worse in 2008...

Fuuuuking cluster fuuuk of soft mother fuuuuka,s on unca suga,s tiddy all wanting a hand out for a significant part of the population.
With the right to vote and no pizz test to pass for it.
All enabled by my fuuuuuuking taxes I pay...

Ah... but few have given thought to where all the FREE money comes from. Well it comes from the government right ? Yes, and the government gets it from the people so many of the d-bags getting free money today stand a very good chance of paying it out in the near future as they mature... Oh the irony of it all.

That's if there is a country left when the dust settles...

If there was one thing that caused the social eruption that occurred in the 60's, it was what started to seem like an endless period of war and conscription in the U.S.A.

WW1, WW2, Korea, then Vietnam,....all occurring in less than a half century and encompassing at least three consecutive generations.

Too many leftist Presidents during that time. Wilson, WW1, Roosevelt, WW2, Truman, Korea, JFK but mostly LBJ , Vietnam.

You can only indenture so many generations of young men before one of them chooses to opt out. To successfully opt out requires a fairly enthusiastic reaction.

Hence, the 60s.

Only eventually.

In the short term it is just poofed into existence with a button click.

,...and by the way, you frequently say things that make it seem that you know where to point the finger about how things are these days.

,...until you jump in with the trendy boys and blame the Boomers.

Make up your mind.

20 years ago a friends new wife asked me if I could give her 14 year old son a summer job. I said I had a couple of houses going and he could pick up construction debris and toss it in a dumpster. < He had no type of work experience whatsoever, never cleaned his room, never took out the trash, washed a car nor mowed grass >NOTHING<. Wouldn't even help carry groceries in the house.
She said no she didn't want him doing anything like picking up construction debris,, then asked; could he ride around with you and do what you do?

My friend was shaking his head because he knew how stupid I thought her reply was. It turned into a fight as I was leaving, he later told me she said; I want the best for my son. LOL yeah start him right at the top since he's SO SPECIAL.

I told a friend in florida this story about 5-6 years ago and he looked Andrew [the son] up on Facebook. Up in his 20's AND >>> he had a SkateBoard Team,?... They had matching T-Shirts too...........laf

Repeat nation wide...
In various ways.

Failure to fuuuking launch types...

I have posted numerous times that the Boomer Generation was one of the greatest captures the Jews ever made. I don't solely blame Boomers for what they did, I understand that Jewish influence is quite difficult to resist and doubly so if your nation just fought for them and all their media is in a full throttle "feel sorry for us" assault.

My main objection to Boomerthink is that they almost never accept that their actions had negative consequences. That and the vast majority of them think Jews are wonderful. You'd think they'd wonder why we are still sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Israel 70+ years later, but they don't.

That is my Long explanation of , this current younger generation is a product of my generation , but NOT a product of me........

I like to give my kid a hard time about me being Gen X. Sent this to him earlier.

[bleep] around with GenX and Find Out

I don't mess around with anyone over 42, they are built different, their families had them formally trained in something by the time they were 2. They had keys to the house by age 5, could cook full meals at 7 and were pretty much self sufficient at 9.

they left their house at dawn every Saturday morning and didn't come home until nightfall. They survived all day on water from garden hoses. They might get a sandwich on the off chance somebody's parents had gone shopping. They spent 3/4 of their lives by themselves witha parent maybe checking in on them twice a month. Most of them have evaded at least one kidnapping attempt and they know 15 different ways to remove blood stains from clothing.

They the real [bleep] around and find out people.

Signed,

A Millennial

Hey duckweenie, guess you never raised any kids. It is like herding turtles, don't matter what you tell em ther school buddies have far more effect on their opinions than their parents do.

Wasn't it the greatest generation, educating the boomers?

Congrats on not reproducing and bitching from the sidelines.

Just straight into perpetual victimhood.

That don't sound right.

Have you tried spending time with them?

It's divisive and pointless to blame generations. Better to examine the factors which drove the negative outcomes.

It's tougher to raise kids right today than it was once upon a time.

I sure did, but amazingly I raised a pair of demrat haters, my son hates democrats but the daughter hard to say. So I'm at 50% for sure. The daughter did not vote for Beto or so she says.

Tell that to the Boomer that started this thread.

It ain't his first.

LOL

We should put blame where it is, the media and lying leftist scum.

Most of our problems today can be traced to December seven nineteen and forty one.

Women learned they could go work in the factories and buy shirts for their kids instead of sewing them.

Many women had no choice but to continue working when their sailor or soldier failed to return from the war. Many, many more intact families decided they preferred living on two incomes rather than one, after the war.

And yes, clear back to 1941, kids started raising themself.

I'll just skip right to the chicken dinner!

Wife and I homeschool the kids. Yes, it is a serious commitment of time, energy, and patience. We also gave up a lot of money to make that choice.

Do any of you imagine that things will get better without commitment, sacrifice, and a fuucking plan?

Or is it all "I voted straight ticket R!"

Fuuck off, worthless do-nothings. You ARE the problem.

And how do you know your kids want turn out like the rest of their generation when they get out of the dungeon and out in society with all the commie, woke, whatever buttheads running around trying to influence them?

Can't keep them under lock and key forever, and there are too many detrimental influences on young folks these days with all the technology and BS out there.

I have 2 teenage sons. One of them rides bulls. plays football, wrestles, hunts fishes, etc. I think he will turn out to be a good ole red blooded, republican voting American, but he hangs out with a bunch of woke kids too so I have no ideal what influences they have on him...

I'm still working on the younger son trying to turn him into a redneck, country boy, and not having much luck..I think he's probably going to turn into a woke DEM eventually no matter what I do..He was just born to be the opposite of my other son. He does excel at school and learning so I think he will have a great future as long as our country and economy survives.

That is a horrible thing to think, much less post.

LOL

You might wanna read a book on leadership.

Bull [bleep], sorry excuse for a parent that wasn't involved in their kids lives. Mine were raised right and know the difference between right or wrong. Passing the blame is typical of those who don't take responsibility plain and simple.

Simple. I talk with them. All the time. I tell them my thoughts. I point them to reality, the stuff that is age-appropriate.The kids pick up all kinds of ridiculous ideas from friends and the shows they watch. I point them back to reality. Which has nothing with being a redneck or voting "R." I am half of their homeschooling. We've been going over the Delaration of Independence for the past month, a few days a week. They are quite brilliant, each in their own ways.

The wife and I spent several years finding a place to raise them. A community with good people who are grounded in reality. We found it in a very inhospitable environment. Again, a sacrifice in many ways. But the only solution. We don't dictate what our kids become, but we can provide an environment where they are loved, challenged, disciplined, guided, shaped, and accepted. In the end, if I don't trust that my sacrifice, commitment, and plan amount to anything, I'd be just another "R" voting, TV-staring, consuming retard. If I can't trust my kids to at least make fewer mistakes than I have, why would I bother? Abortion is legal.

This cracks me up.

LOL

Yeah the Jews might get to them anyway so why even try? More time for TV shows if you don't have to run school.

Late 63 here and mine all voted red.

Interesting how each of us fumble our way through raising these kids. About the time my boy turned 6 or so, I looked around for some clues from my friends who were raising kids too. Everybody had a different plan. I looked at how my boy was doing, compared his resume on child rearing with my resume...son of a bitch, neither one of us had any prior experience. So I thought ok, let's just go hands off and see what happens, if it starts going to schidt, I'll get involved. The years went by, he never wrecked any pickups, never knocked anybody up, never tangled with the law, made some expensive mistakes in the logging business, but he owned all his equipment and he got out of it on his schedule, sold the iron and got a house, property and family and got a darn good job in forestland management.
The daughter was a cliffhanger though, never got in a jam, but the old folks never knew when or where she would call from. Where you at Kelli?
Oklahoma. Doing what? Herdin' cows. Where you at Kelli? Nevada. Doin' what? Herdin' cows. Where you at? Los Angeles. Doin' what? Ridin' out rich peoples horses. Idaho. Doin' what? Herdin' cows. We lost a lot of sleep over that girl, but that is her husband's problem now.
Neither one pays a lot of attention to politics, but they are firmly rooted in knowing where food, shelter and water come from...work.

Someone thinks he invented trickledown economics.







Spoiler.

It doesn't work.

It seems were in a maelstrom of blame threads.

I posted this in another thread, but I'll do it on this one here since it is relevant to the post topic: check out patrick.net thread "The Fate of Empires and...". Very interesting.

Also if you are an actual Democrat (or zogger) the site owner wants to debate you...

Watched a Laughin show from about 1970 earlier and thought of this thread

Saw white people with dark colored faces wearing afro wigs, heard sexually oriented jokes toward women and gays and more.

Technology aside the world was a better place to live in 50 years ago.

Younger guys that weren't there don't have a clue.

You're right 700LH, everybody wasn't a crybaby back then, WHINERS GALORE since 1994 < FACT. < I just made that up.

I think better'N half of LaughIn was half drunk and half stoned, which made it fun to watch.

More like a Quantum of Bullshìt.

I always liked a Quantum they cast pretty good

Baby boomers over saw the downfall of the empire and, GENERALLY SPEAKING (that is there are many notable exceptions) bought into the cultural spiral from which we find ourselves unable to recover.

That’s just a statistical fact.

One of the ways they did so was by neglect of their children. Gen Xers were the latchkey kids whose moms went to work so we came home after school to a house with no parents but lotsa fun toys. Dem boomers knew a woman’s presence entering digits on a spreadsheet at the widget factory so their kids could have stuff they didn’t have was more important than her physical presence in the house.

Such wisdom.

Colo1135 is spot on. We’re responsible for turning out healthy, kind, and productive citizens as parents. He is also right that his kids are pretty solid from everything I’ve ever seen.

Boomer has become more of a symbol for a way of thinking than just a member of a particular generation. The boomer mentality is one that refuses to get with the times and admit how things have changed and take some responsibility for it and make personal improvements to help.

People from all generations can have a boomer mentality.

I'm not so sure about the Boomer blame, but I did notice that Covid did illustrate the people that are way too important to die.

A lot of them don't work and don't "have" to do anything, but everyone had to shut down, wear masks and subject themselves to testing so people who really didn't need to do anything could be free to do so.

It's the same stupid phouckers that "have" to go to the post office and the pharmacy in the middle of a snowstorm.

What a mind blowing data point.

LOL

Go eat your checkers, retard.

I remember Bristoe was gonna whip some old lady’s ass down at the hospital after coming to work with the sniffles.

700LH got in the fetal positioned and cried for 18 months.

LOL

Pretty sure they’re both Boomers.
