"Fuck you, I got mine" turns into "Fuck, they got mine".

Maybe voting just for soi and against vous wasn't that clever after all? Will they stop voting Republican?

[–] KaiReeve@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, no. They're going to watch Fox News talk about how this is all Biden's fault and only the GOP can save them from suffering the same fate. They will continue to follow the same pied Piper that led them here.

Dear Boomers,

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. [YOU ARE HERE]

Yeah it's like Republicans are not going to help you, other than enflaming culture wars and talking about woke. When they funnel all taxes and assets to the wealthy, and deregulate all industries, and make vaccines illegal, etc, all you'll have left is a tattered red hat and a shopping cart full of your belongings.

It will literally continue to be like this until they die out

The best thing we can do is get them out of office.
