Dammit, where are the BOOMERS?!

[Wilson23]

I know you're all getting on in years, but this is at long last your TIME! This POTUS makes Nixon look like MLK! These coming wars make Vietnam look like Altamonte! Think back to the days when you KNEW the Revolution was coming any day now! Dig out your tie-dyes and love beads! Fight the man! Off the pigs! Radicalize the masses! Bogart the joint! Don't be square, wear long hair! And don't trust anybody under 60!

After WWII the men who had been away at war came home. Now they wanted to get married and have kids. So many did that all at once that the result was a "baby boom."

OK, Boomer.

In fact, I should think by now every retirement home in Florida has day-glo posters in the common room and Jimi Hendrix playing on the PA.

I feel the urgency to act as Americans did after the bombing of Pearl Harbour.

if u recall there was no revolution. The war ended, the president and his brother were murdered, MLK and Malcolm X were killed-and NOTHING CHANGED. Political assasinations never change anything for the betterment of society. BTW- as soon as you mention Trump, your credibility is gone…

A LOT of things changed for THOSE reasons!

But they're not thngs Boomers can think of as collective generational achievements. Except for the war ending.

The media lies about Trump. If you’re unwilling to admit that you have no credibility

The media doesn't have to. He looks just as bad as he is with no embellishment. And you're a real IDIOT if you see "liberal bias" in the for-profit business coporations that own the media.
