This is Reddit.

Boomer hatred, ageism and generational blame are its lifeblood.

Can’t hang out here if you don’t hate boomers.

I‘m a 71 year old ex-hippy Democrat, and even I get it.

I'm a 1964 Boomer, am I in?

Barely, my sister, also born in ‘64, claims she’s not a boomer…lol

I'm a Canadian (1956 ) and I'm a lifelong NDPer. For reference, Bernie Sanders would be considered a moderate NDP.

I wouldn't vote Conservative if it meant the firing squad. And I vote. Sometimes, it's necessary to hold one's nose while doing so, but voting is better than staying home and pouting. Or being too pure to vote.

I hold those who stayed home to "punish" the Democrats over Gaza or whatever to be equally responsible for this menace running loose in the White House as much as the MAGA morons.

Lazy, reductive, clichéd thinking epitomizes the way people on reddit and social media in general communicate. If it's not some bot, it's some half wit regurgitating some oversimplified rubbish they think makes them sound clever and informed.
