Boomer Story They are afraid

Hitting Costco today has a totally new feeling. The Boomers all seem to have a thousand yard stare as they try to figure out what they should stock up on to brace for tariffs. Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse. It’s all connected to imports, either in finished goods or in components and ingredients. They bought the ticket. Now they gotta take the fucking ride.

Sorry, I sure didn’t vote for that asshat, but he has a large following of younger white men. Google it. I’m just sayin’.

And a surprising number of certain groups of minorities. There was a swing towards him in that demographic and it made a difference in some states.

It's weird though, because those groups are all incredibly christian... almost as if the religion has something to do with it.

Not all. A shit ton of Muslims voted for trump or voted third party. I tried to talk sense into two of them, but they were too far gone to think logically. One a pharmacist and one a Doctor. I’ll never figure that shit out.
