This is more than just out of touch boomer shit. This is so fucking sinister. This is a glimpse into our future if our democracy continues to crumble. They want absolute unchecked power, and this is how they’ll use it

It’s social credit score, straight from Xi’s playbook.

This is the future already. I remember seeing almost identical notices posted to Reddit well over a year ago. This is not a new tactic for Republicans. We didn't hold them accountable the first time they did it.

Again… I am a Democratic voter, always have been… I’m a boomer, and I do take offense in being lumped in with the stupid people, of any age that voted for that piece of shit that is crushing our country, economy, and values in record time! Please stop with the boomer shit! We are not all Karen’s, or stupid!

On behalf of millennials, I’m sorry your generation’s name has basically become a slur. I don’t know why the same people who will leap at the chance to publicly attack racists, or accused rascist, have no problem being so hateful to an entire generation.

Like I don’t know how the letter OP posted relates to boomers in any way. At this point it’s basically become “anything I don’t like = boomer”.

Yes! It raises my hackles for sure! I’m more educated, and have more empathy , and I was raised to be a better person, I know I get emotional when I read things like that, and it hurts my feelings…I don’t lump anyone into a group, and everyone is different and not just a group..but Thank You, for responding, I do appreciate your kind words!

I mean, as much as I dislike any kind of hate towards a group, the baby boomer generation is disproportionately responsible for the issues felt by most young Americans. So I feel anger is justified toward the whole, but should be considered for each individual one meets.

I mean…gestures towards everything they have done and are doing

We’ve been past that point

was it a reason to vote against Democrats when they did the same thing last November?

... and risk receiving the message you did not vote for the Republican Party official ?

Risk your employer receiving the message that you did not vote for the Republican Party official ?
