My boomer parents were the same.

We had an exceptional experience.

Democrats did create long term growth for the working class that lead them to a four term(ish) presidency.

But it took a war.

If you weren’t going for an Alice In Chains reference you nailed it anyway

It was just weird to me. I’m wondering how someone with limited English would make that kind of decision. What were their criteria? What did they base it on?

At the end of the day I blamed it on what I blame everything on: Reagan. These were Boomer age folks who remember the gilded 80s in US pop culture.

But I would love to explore it more deeply. Is being conservative common with immigrant parents?

Do not look up what Lindsay Graham’s “ladybugs” are.

Just don’t.

Trust me.

My neighborhood has a lot of Bhutani and Nepali immigrants and when I was canvassing last year a surprising number of houses had the older generation as Republicans and the younger generation as Democrats.

Teamwork makes the dream work

They developed perm products in the 60s so people kinda went nuts. Same with hairspray.

Been there. Done that. Didn’t help. Actually made me feel worse.

The same reason the Nazis came to power: Henry Ford and his antisemitism.

For real.

Futile actions and being around even more of a species I don’t want to be a part of will make me more defeatist and misanthropic.

How do you think I got this way?

Doing shit in the real world and watching the real world fail to reverse its decline is a big reason I think we’re too stupid to live.

But If you want to try to bail the Titanic with a Dixie cup I’m not gonna yuck your yum.

If they’re seeing the same behavior and thinking of it positively then humans are even worse than I imagined.

I’m not surprised you don’t understand because you still can’t spell

What’s pathetic is thinking anything you do will prevent anything.

Mirror neurons gonna mirror neuron

This will be an essential part of industry quite soon. It all runs on old versions of windows and having a compatible, supported runtime will be invaluable.

Blah blah blah blah

And it’s spelled “whining”

If Fetterman is a Democrat I prefer someone who’s not.

I don’t advocate for genocide to save the planet. The planet will do that quite nicely on its own. Plus I think humans will screw it up like everything else.
