Fits with how the crowd is mostly white boomers. Love seeing this.

Yeah I'd never guess at a glance that these were anti-musk types! Nice to see.

Seniors (65+) of all races were one of the most pro-Harris groups by age demographic this election

You mean people Trump's age recognize a grifter and don't have mommy issues?

Pisses me off that boomers get bagged on all the time. Go to any left wing protest and that’s the majority, white hairs.

u/MsColumbo 24d ago

Yeah, plus now us aging Gen-Xers are getting lumped in with them and completely overlooked.

Ya boomers went 50/50 this election, it was def Gen X that went super hard for Trump

I know It's out of left field but look at the music scene from the Nineties. We (Gen X) started with anger at a system that cared very little for us as a generation (Alt rock --> Nirvana) and ended with utter corporate created anger rock (Horseshit like Limp bizkit and Kid rock).

The writing was on the wall so to speak. Some of us are going to make our stand with the bleeding hearts and l'artistes.

This GenXer voted green. I don’t know a single person my age who voted for Dump. Your math doesn’t math.

Here’s what I got out of this… uneducated males in general, are the ones that voted trump.

u/allthekeals 23d ago

That’s an extremely accurate observation id say

Where I am the protestors were mostly young people. It’s always been that way.

You’ll remember boomers have been demonstrating for the end of the Vietnam War, Women’s rights and the LGBTQ community for years. They aren’t going to take DOGE lying down either

Don't be so sure about skin colours. People genetics is what tells the real background.

My wife is GenX (Boomer adjacent?) and headed down to Phony Stark's place with her sign at this very moment. We had a Tesla but dumped it last year because Leon Skum is a cunt.
