I was having dinner with friends of the family at a restaurant earlier this evening. The breakdown was me, two boomer republicans, and a boomer democrat. It's like I'm living in a completely different world from them. They get their news from the MSM so they think Trump is trying to antagonize our allies, that he's purposely trying to befriend evil dictators like North Korea (nevermind he actually got NK and SK to open up a bit), that he's trying to start war in the ME (he's literally doing the exact fucking opposite), that he didn't do anything about COVID and the blood of 270,000 Americans is on his hands. These are your average 50-60 something Boomers. They're middle-america.
If that's what middle america thinks no wonder Biden 'won.' Hell, we saw first-hand just how the Pres was taking action way back in January and Feb -- while the Dems were saying not to worry about the virus and that he was a racist xenophobe. Their perception is completely divorced from reality!
What makes this messed up is they would say the exact thing to me if they knew how I actually thought.
Problem is, by the time those boomers have died off (I guess 20-25ish years give or take) and been replaced with institution-critical people, there won't be anything left to salvage.
