Plenty of boomers at the protests and plenty of Gen Z voted Trump.
Don’t let them distract you with division. No war but class war my friends.

Republicans voted them in, of all ages and demographics. Because they want to be ruled. They love having a boot on their necks.

Dumb take. Nothing to do with generations.

People who still think this is just a Boomer problem are going to be pretty disappointed over the next 20 years. Boomers make up less than 20% of the US population. 56% of people between the ages of 50-64 voted for Trump. Where Biden got 55% of ages 30-49, Harris dropped to 50%. Noem and Mike Johnson are in their early 50s. Stephen Miller and Vance are in their early 40s.
Y’all cannot wait out this administration

Has anyone stopped to think that this old narrative of ‘blame the boomers’ was launched by republicans to divide and conquer democrats? Boomers are not all conservatives. At the last No kings rally I saw a lot of gray hair and very few young people

Trump is more of a creature of Gen X and their spawn Gen Z than boomers and millennials

As a Gen-Xer I’m not proud of this, but I think Gen-X is the generation Trump did the best with in the 2024 election.

Why blame boomers? Exit polls show an even split between Trump/harris for voters over 65+. If you’re looking for a single group to blame it’s men (55%-43%)or people without a college degree (55%-42%) or Gen X (55%-43%)

My uncle was shot down over the Rhine just before WW2 ended. My dad made it back but it left a mark. Thank God my mom died before 2016, because she would’ve loved that thing occupying the White House.
Seems confusing, but I think the link is a love of money. My mom adored wealth and glitter. So do lots of “boomers.” And many Gen Z.
That being said, stereotyping all boomers as idiots is pretty offensive. I can live with terms like “many boomers,” but don’t label us all.

Voting should be a mandatory national holiday punishable by fine if you choose not to vote. There’s a lot to go around with this blame pie that I think would’ve resolved itself if everyone had a day off to vote and it was mandatory…. I think alot of western countries do this

I am in my 70’s and I listened to my dad who fought Nazis in combat. No I do not support any of the republicans. My dad said in Trump’s first term, “I heard this shit in Germany “! He said the German troops were so entrenched in hitler’s logic that they were willing to die for Hitler , even if it meant suicide rather than be taken prisoner.

LOL it wasn’t just boomers pal. A *lot* of younger people are stupid enough to vote for him.

Actually it was the GenX that had the highest split towards trump. But, Trump’s support among younger voters grew from 36% (18-29 in 2016) to 43% (2024), with men under 30 showing +14 margin over Harris per youth polls.

Boomers??? I didn’t see too many 60 and 70 year olds scaling the walls of the Capitol
This is all about boomers hating their parents and living in their shadows

Hmmm, boomers voted him in. I’d challenge that. That would mean everyone under 62 did not total those 62 and higher. I doubt that number.

Dont blame us boomers. Gen X had the highest vote in favor of Trump, around 54 percent and they were the largest group actually voting. Boomers were 50/50. People born in the 80s, 90s and 2000s had the largest shift towards Trump comparing 2024 to 2020;as a whole they favored Harris but by around 6-8 percent less than in 2020. Source is Pew Research.

I believe their most concentrated demographic is rural (vs old). They listen to Fox and have no neighbors who aren’t white “christians” so it’s easy to brainwash and scare them into being (even more) racist POSs

Maybe the other generations should show up more often in polling stations:

Donald Trump saw a significant, “Trump-ward” shift in support from non-Boomer demographics, particularly among young men (Gen Z and Millennials) and Generation X (born 1965–1980).
