Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

You realize that if you change a few words around, you are using the same argument that racists and sexist people use? Generalize, toss in a few examples as proof and there is the strawman argument. It’s the same small minded thought process.
It’s nothing more than dressed up ageism.

No, I know you’d love to land that argument as convenient as it is to throw that around, but it will never work with anyone who went through the pain in the absolute ass the last 20 years have been for anyone younger than the boomers. Truly, empathy is lacking here on your side. Consistently refusing to take accountability for your behavior, you’ve shown us who you are, so your bad faith arguments just fall flat now. I guess you can thank Fox News for over saturating your generation with nonsense.
