Boomers voted to gut the services they need now.
Really? Every single one of them?
Please realize you're talking about individuals, not a collective consciousness.
I repeat, "every single one of them?"
My coworker is in her 60s and as progressive as they come. She hates Trump, supports public healthcare and a social safety net. She also doesn't make enough to save for retirement and plans to work until she dies. Is she reaping what she sowed?
You're wishing harm on people because their generation "trended" a certain way. That is textbook dehumanization.
Really? Because you literally said all boomers deserve the suffering that a portion of their age group has caused. Sounds more like you're just an asshole who likes to justify their hatred by dehumanizing an entire age group (a group that cannot be opted into) so you can condemn them collectively for the actions of the worst members.
"As a whole"? So all boomers got together and voted the same way? Or do you mean that they all deserve to suffer because of what the majority voted for?
Depending on which you meant, you're either a moron who thinks invoking basic rhetorical concepts counts as an argument, or you're just an evil person.

You are insufferable.
"Every single one of them?"
No that's not how voting works. That's never how it has worked. It DOESN'T REQUIRE all of them.
Almost no one is DIRECTLY blaming all the boomers, We're just pissed at them because they've done LESS THAN NOTHING to help these problems. Boomers told us to bootstrap it.
Where's our empathy?? Where the FUCK is theirs?! It is totally fine to dislike someone willfully ignoring problems even if they didn't directly create them.
