    He wants to kill everyone he can before he dies.

    He will sacrifice people foolish enough to break the law in his name to eradicate Real Americans.

    He doesn’t care. The majority of the boomer generation feels the same way.

    The world will improve significantly when the wealth hoarding boomers just finish dying off.

    Protect yourself in the meantime. Stay armed. Stay alert.

      My feeling is he wants:

      1. A clear, memorable legacy
      2. The “fun” and power of war, with literal life and death at his hands
      3. A war to go past his 4 years so he can justify staying in, probably without an election.

      Whatever he wants it’s bad

        If he manages to live another 3 years I suspect there will be no election. He’ll just declare himself king and the Supreme Court will follow suit.

      Every young generation feels like that. Every single one before yours felt the same. :)

      Its actually not about generations being different, we are the same. You may be 20, I may be 50, we still want the same things.

        Doubtful. The boomers are uniquely self serving as a group and have a sort of cruelty brain rot bug that may or may not be lead poisoning.

        Many are obsessed with entrenching themselves within institutions, creating a poor work life balance (while blaming the rest of us for not sacrificing as much) leading to fragile interpersonal relationships that are centered around ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ rather than creating a meaningful sense of community.

        Most younger generations blame boomers for having a good life and then promptly shutting the door in their children’s faces.

        We have survived 500,000 years as a species because past generations cared about the world they left behind for their descendants. Boomers, instead, are collectively focussed on enriching themselves by putting our future at risk as collateral.

        As a generation, they will not be remembered well. Many of us wish they would simply step aside so we can fix the mess they’ve propogated.

        Tl;dr: There is more to this than the usual young vs old dynamic.

          Am old, remember feeling the same as you youngsters. The sad fact is a lot of people are bad, and usually when they get older they become worse either through mental decay, denial of being bad parents, a constant physical pain built up over the years, etc etc

          The only way to fix the system is to burn it to the ground. But funny thing is, everyone wimps out

            I think Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are or will be better, especially with regard to parenting self awareness, but the reality is boomers have left us with a world where having children is financially unfeasible so it won’t matter. But we can follow up in a few decades and see where things are at. I think Boomers will certainly be remembered a certain way (collectively).

              My experience makes me feel that members of each generation in power is a hindrance to younger generations.

        • Hey bud, idk who pissed in your cheerios this morning but you should go back to bed. Nobody logged on to deal with this kind of anger and aggressive language.

          Honey catches more flies than vinegar 😘

      The world will improve significantly when the wealth hoarding boomers just finish dying off.

      It would improve without humans, too.
