It’s hilarious to me that Republicans have now decided that whole generations of Americans are the enemy. They love to shit on millennials especially but any young generation is a weak, woke, twisted mob come to ruin the world. Hating all young people (aside from Kyle Rittenhouse) is not a well-thought-strategy.
Millennials are not young anyway. I'm a millennial and I'm 40.
I always get a kick out of this, I tell people that I am one of the younger millennials and I'm 32. Older people just have millennial=young person in their head.
and I'm 32
I mean we are kinda young still... no? Aren't we? Guys??
Older people just have millennial=young person in their head.
And younger people just have boomer=old person in their head, which as a Gen-Xer drives me nuts every time I'm labeled as a Boomer.
Definitely: they got this “millennials” idea stuck in their heads 10 years ago and they still use it as shorthand for “these kids today.” You try to talk to them about GenZ and Alpha and they roll their eyes and say “the who now?”

They started on about it in the mid 90s and just like all their shitty ideas, they've never changed any opinion with new evidence ever. Look at this focus group (@23:10) of republicans and after half of them say they'd vote for trump even if he's in jail, one guy says there's no line for the supporters, and that they'd vote for him even if he died. The response from the trumpet is to complain about biden.
You see, it's because they're stupid.
Daily Show had it right 20 years ago: Republicans are either stupid and/or evil.
My daughter proudly told me she's "generation Alpha" the other day, first I'd ever heard the term. We then argued over what sounds cooler, gen alpha, or gen x.
Fucking "woke" man... it's kinda nice in a way, because now I know whenever I see that word brought up I can safely ignore what comes after it as the person has proven that they're brainwashed by Reich wing media...
It's absolutely fucking ridiculous seeing the "discussions" section on Steam about a goddamn video game be filled with "Is this game woke?" "BOYCOTT WOKE GAME" "Remove the option to have pronouns or we'll cancel you!"
Absolutely fucking brainwashed... Literally a bunch of Pavlov's dogs running around getting triggered by options in a video game because they were conditioned to.
I actually remember before the term “woke” got stolen by Fox News and was frequently used across Black Twitter as a shorthand for taking the red pill on seeing racism and intersectional grief in our society. Once your eyes are open to these truths, you can’t stop seeing them.
Ah OH BOY some people have a PROBLEM with the truth being plainly seen and spoken about. Can’t have that!
It's actually kind of a tragedy that the word has taken on that perception. There are some things that can and should be discussed that fall under the "woke" definition. But there's no good alternative word. DEI is commonly used, but it's not applicable in some instances when woke still would be. So we're left kind of floundering around looking for words to describe a concept that is easily summed up as woke, just to avoid the perception of being a close-minded bigot. This isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last thing that the right has taken, bastardized, and used until it's tired and worn out.
It’s okay, we had to deal with being called SJWs for a long time as well. This kind of idiotic cock blocking isn’t going to stop people from slowly evolving out of the unjust systems of thought we’ve inherited.
The debate surrounding millennials is a challenging and nuanced topic, increasingly rising at an accelerating rate of percentage growth expansion velocity, per year per capita. For instance, many would agree that Albert Einstein was a great millennial, but Adolf Hitler not so much.
OK Boomer.
While I agree that Republicans have absolutely marked younger generations as the enemy, Democrats are doing the exact same thing with older generations.
Mm no, we’re not going to “both sides” this. First of all, OK Boomer was not invented by the democrats nor is it a democratic harping point. The democrats have some of the oldest politicians of all time in The White House and running Congress.
Secondly, the Democrats don’t actively legislate against the interests of old people, as Republicans do with their war on reproductive rights, resistance to college debt forgiveness, and terrible environmental record.
So no: it is not in any way or degree “the exact same thing.”
Oh no... You killed him :(
Also they really don't tolerate college students voting.
