Why? Why are we still supporting and housing geriatric politicians? What job in the real world lets someone in their 80s keep going?

Flew in to surprise my grandmother for her 90th birthday yesterday.

Sitting there next to her, she asks one of her friends (my grandmother is not political at all) where another friend was, to which he replied.

“We didn’t invite her because she’s a dumacrat”

I turned to him and said, so what if I was, are you going to make me leave? Keep your politics out of my grandmothers celebration.

I yelled in all CAPs and added some ! So he’d understand his boomer language.

You can’t even have a simple get together anymore without the MAGAs injecting their level of narcissism.

My boomer in laws came by for an unexpected visit.. while my husband is out of town. Normally I have him to play interference because they both stress me tf out. I thought it was the constant political chattering that was stressing me out, but after a normal Saturday with them I still felt my nerves were shattered and kept excusing myself to the bathroom to breathe. Then I realized from across the house, the rattling of the door jambs with them laughing- it’s the volume. They both have no indoor voice and speak over the other. It’s like a lawnmower and a weedwacker going non stop. Is this loud talking a boomer thing, or are they deaf? I tried putting my AirPods in and grandpa boomer keeps yelling HELLO in my face and asking if I can hear him. Yes. I can. The neighborhood can. Jfc im gonna snap.

My 17-year-old son has longer hair, it goes past his ears and touches his shoulders. My father-in-law is always saying to him, "when are you going to cut your hair?" In a half-joking manner. The other day I'm sitting with my FIL and he said to me, "Does the school every say anything to him about his hair?" He was serious, not kidding around. My son is a senior and has a 4.4 high school GPA in AP classes, has never received a detention or anything and is in leadership. He has longer blonde hair, and a girlfriend who loves it. The FIL is 74 years old and is a staunch Trump republican and, apparently, thinks it's 1960 and there are strict grooming guidelines in public high schools in California. These boomers are their completely out of touch reality. I could go on a tirade about the much worse things he has said, but I was mowing my lawn and just thought of that incident this morning.

It’s a cult

On Saturday night I took my wife's sister's husband and his FIL to see Tom Segura and Kirk Fox in OKC. The FIL is pretty vocal about being Pro-MAGA and while we've never got into a political discussion I am positive he knows where I stand politically. As we are driving past Tinker AFB on the way to the show he passed his phone up front to show us an ad about DOGE t-shirts. I just laughed it off and said yeah, I think Elon is regretting his time as a government employee lately. He went on to say to my wife's sister's husband that they should buy the T-shirts. I should point out that I am veteran who has worked for the VA for over a decade and has so far avoided getting laid off. Anyway, we attend the show (which was absolutely hilarious) and are heading back through Midwest City (Home of Tinker AFB) when the FIL points out how dead it is for a Friday night. I said yeah, that's what happens when out of touch billionaires just arbitrarily fire a couple of thousand hard working Okies in the name of "efficiency". He didn't have a response. These folks are either oblivious or heartless and in a lot of cases I think it's both.

My family and I had a lovely day at the zoo. At one of the exhibits my toddler was... Well, toddling around.

He was in arms reach of his mom and I was about ten feet further up the path watching him as well.

A boomer lady then comes storming around the corner with an empty pushchair. Halts in front of him then starts huffing, scowling and shaking her head at him, mumbling insults under her breath. At a toddler.

My son is very smiley and isn't used to this kind of response from people. He paused a second them stepped to the side looking a bit confused by the whole thing.

Bear in mind he didn't need to step aside, this woman had plenty of room to go around him. Not to mention that he was there first. And it was a place you could stop and look at animals, so people doing so should be expected!

As she approached me I saw red and said loudly "what's this, a grown adult surprised to find children at a zoo?!" She wouldn't even look at me let alone respond, so as she passed by I called after her "what's the matter, only willing to bully small children, not adults?"

God the cowardice of some people pisses me off! Sorry had to rant and get it off my chest.

A man she was with at least had the decency to look embarrassed and apologetic on her behalf though.

Boomers get a lot of hate, and deservedly so, but they showed up in force today. Maybe they're just mad that social security and Medicare is at risk, but whatever their motivation I respect them for standing up with us

Hitting Costco today has a totally new feeling. The Boomers all seem to have a thousand yard stare as they try to figure out what they should stock up on to brace for tariffs. Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse. It’s all connected to imports, either in finished goods or in components and ingredients. They bought the ticket. Now they gotta take the fucking ride.
