Yeah, a lot of people don’t realize that boomers actually had more difficulty with retirement than more recent generations in some ways. The later boomers missed out on pensions from employers, and an entire generation of investors were traumatized by dot com bubble burst that made a lot of people not trust portfolio based savings. And then those that got in again got whacked in the 2008 mortgage fiasco. Now they’re in retirement and getting ready to see what will happen to their IRAs and 401(k)s once reality catches up with odd market optimism. i’m not saying, “Won’t somebody please think about the poor boomers…”, I’m saying that more recent generations, insisting that the boomers had it easy at every stage in their life is not as correct as they think.

Margie laying down excellent reasons for some MAGAts not to show up at the polls. Trump managed to get a bunch of low information, apathetic voters to jump on the MAGA train. Those people had a history of never voting, and if the orange shit stain is not on the ballot, they have far less reason to show up. They did not vote because it did not matter - as the deep state and Democrats won in rigged elections. Marge is telling them to stay home. And a blue wave midterm coupled with the GOP whining about rigged elections might convince them to go back to not participating because it is pointless.
I watched a video yesterday on YouTube from a guy explaining the five ways cults cease to exist. Point number five was, “the charismatic leader dies” Then the guy said, “JD Vance has the personality of a parking meter…”
