Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Boomers have supported, and voted for the status quo and these billionaires for decades upon decades at this point. And are still supporting the dictator Trump.
So yeah your take is bullshit. George Carlin had it right, sorry not sorry.
Younger generations aren't much better. Look at the age distribution of Trump voters: https://navigatorresearch.org/2024-post-election-survey-gender-and-age-analysis-of-2024-election-results/ (IDK if this is a good source, feel free to provide one that contradicts it if you find one. But it's consistent with pretty much every poll I've seen on this topic, even in other western countries). The gender split is a lot more pronounced than any generational split.
And boomers still overwhelming support Trump.
Source? That certainly isn't supported by the post election survey I linked.
90% of my millennial friends have been voting for the status quo for decades too. We'll see how progressive they are once they're the most conservative ones in the room, and they aren't oh so painfully forced to vote for the status quo.
Clarification: I'm saying that they're currently being dishonest about supporting progressive values, not that they'll change.
You know how much I heard this myth? Yall still parroting the same bullshit that you get more conservative as you get older, what a fucking joke.
Please see other reply
Ah yes the popular myth of becoming more conservative as you get older. It used to be true because you would get a job, have a family, and retire. Suddenly your biggest concern became lower taxes so you could spend that money elsewhere. Rest of the country be damned.
Except now significantly less people are doing those things because they have a lot less money than their parents did.
All growing old has done is made me way more left. I can see and understand so much more about how the world is fucked up.
Me too. I'm saying that they're currently being dishonest about supporting progressive values, not that they'll change.
This oversimplified dichotomy is asinine. No group of people are some monolithic Borg mind. These types of tribalism are toxic useless. Russians would call it convenient idiots. It is tribalistic dogma revealing poor fundamental logic skills typical for a culture derived from the inbred Puritan penal colony European rejects.
It's because America uses "first past the post" voting. Look it up. If you immediately realize that no honest intelligent person would support that, you'd be right.
