Last post by Tessera - May 29, 2023, 08:03:46 PMLOL... whoops, I forgot that Cylnar is GenX. 
Well, I can only tell you what I know about my own generation. Of course, a discussion of this type is going to be prone to a lot of speculation and conjecture. I'll just reply with what I know first-hand.
If you read a bit about the Boomer generation, you'll find that many sociologists bust my generation in half... Early Boomers and Late Boomers. Interestingly, the older they are, the more likely they are to be liberals. Early Boomers were the first people drafted and sent into Vietnam. They are the counter-culture, naked hippies at Woodstock generation and apparently, most of them remained left-ish as they grew older.
It's the younger Boomers (my demographic) who actually tend to be more conservative than our older peers. Younger Boomers were the so-called "Yuppies" in the 80's, for example. Many of them embraced Reagan at the time and later became neo-cons. I can remember many a political argument back in the 80's, between myself and other Late Boomers. Some of those arguments were very heated. Some became fist fights.
I know it sounds weird that the older they are, the more liberal Boomers are... but a lot of that has to do with the socio-dynamics of the Vietnam era. Younger Boomers like me escaped the draft and therefore, we weren't quite as anti-establishment as the older Boomers. We had an easier ride than the older Boomers did.
So I think it's still safe to say that MOST of my generation do not support Donald Trump. He seems to be getting most of his support from GenX, the Silent Generation (including my mom), and a smattering of stupid dumbass Millennials who, as you say, are probably just caught up in a cult of personality surrounding Trump.

Last post by Cylnar - May 29, 2023, 06:08:51 PMOf course, that demographic sampling does not really match up with the current distribution of generations. Boomers (born 1946-1965, the only generation comprised of a 20 year bracket) are 58-77 years old this year. Gen X (born 1966-1980) are 43-57 years old this year. Millennials (born 1981-1995) are 28-42 years old this year. Gen Z (born 1996-2010) are 13-27 years old this year (meaning only 2/3 of the cohort are significant when it comes to voting). 
The demographic sampling Tess quoted only lists ages of up to 64, which addresses less than a third of the Boomer generation; the upper 2/3, senior citizens 65 and up, are not mentioned at all (and they seem like the classic Fox News convert age range, like my dad, though technically he is a "Silent" since he was born in 1942). Like Tess, I am included in the 50-64 age range that has a healthy aversion to Trump. The 35--49 range which includes the most Trump supporters (younger Xers and older Millennials) were likely exposed to Trump during his mid-80s-mid 90s "minor celebrity" phase in which he appeared on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and did cameos in several movies. Not to mention they experienced the Republican renaissance of the 80s in which Reaganomics seemed to be the key to prosperity, at least to morons, of which there have always been plenty. There are probably a lot of Republicans in that cohort in general; perhaps they thought Trump would bring about a return to the "glory days" of the 1980s.
But then, arbitrary demographic assignments into "generations" are hardly indicative of where the real fault lines lie in the American public.You gotta get a lot more granular than that, in order to suss out why retards favor Trump.

I have nothing against Boomers... but I just want to know why Boomers support Donald Trump in such overwhelming numbers compared to everyone else. Is it because he himself is one of them? Or are they just a generation taken?
Well, I just looked into it, mainly because I can't imagine the people of my generation supporting that fat orange psycho. We've been wise to Trump and his bullshit for decades.
As it turns out, Trump seems to enjoy most of his support from the next generation after mine... GenX. Here's what the NY Post said about it last year:
"President Trump continues to enjoy the support of voters under age 50, with 55 percent of those ages 35 to 49 giving him a positive approval rating, according to a poll. And across the remaining age groups, disapproval numbers were similar — with a 58 percent majority of the 50-64 demographic disapproving, and the 18-34 group disapproving by 56 percent, the poll found."
SOURCE: https://nypost.com/2020/09/22/trump-has-support-of-younger-voters-while-older-ones-disapprove/
I happen to fall within that 50-64 age group. Most of us hate him. So there you have it... most Boomers don't like Trump, and neither do Millennials and GenZ, but GenX seem to be his biggest supporters. I watched GenX grow up and so this doesn't surprise me. They happen to be a very selfish generation and Trump definitely appeals to selfish people. GenX also love to take credit for things that were actually created by Boomers. I guess they hated growing up in our shadow, or some such shit. Anyway, there we are: Boomers don't support Trump. He may be a member of our generation, but he's never been one of us. He's a punk.
The best news is that the rest of us outnumber GenX by a factor of about 3-to-1. But it's important for younger voters to do a better job when it comes to voting in the primaries. I was happy to see high turnout among younger voters in the general election last year... but voting in the general isn't enough, because by that time, older voters have already chosen the candidates for you. So let's all work together and bury these MAGA morons.
This is not surprising when you see how various groups act online.

Carol Alt. Supermodel. Boomer. Age (in this photo): 59
The above photo was taken in 2019, or possibly in 2020. It's supermodel Carol Alt, who was hot stuff back in the 80's, striking a sexy pose at the age of 59. Carol also posed in Playboy in 2008, when she was 48 years old.
This is what you can look like, when you stay thin all of your life, exercise and eat a healthy diet. A lot of 20-year-olds would kill to have a body like hers. "Okay Boomer" just took on an entirely new meaning.

Let's keep 'em coming!
Well...
In related news, cross-dressing Republican congressman George Santos has just been charged by the DOJ, for undisclosed felonies. Probably something to do with campaign finance violations, but who knows.

I feel like we're all living in some sort of cosmic SNL skit at this point.
It's nice to see someone held accountable for once. Hardly anyone in Congress supports this freak so this time we might even see consequences.

More proof that when right goes on about something, they are projecting.
