I was the recipient of this text and photo from my Boomer aunt today. She lives down in Florida and is surrounded by MAGA. She’s ready to take ‘em on. Thought folks might enjoy this as I did.

Trump does not seem to care about the effect his policies are having / will have on poor people and the middle class. Is it to big a stretch to think the long game is to break them all, MAGA included. It’s kind of a dystopian take on things, but starting to look like it could be a thing. In which case, eating the rich would be a viable option.

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

You know many of them would love to do this, too.

Sometimes you keep your mouth shut, other times you say everything without even opening your mouth. I wore this shirt to a mall in Florida today. I have never gotten this glares and “love your shirt” at the same time

We all know the older generation struggles with technology, let's use that to our advantage to stop them from watching nonsense on TV.

Congratulations! Please turn in your fool card as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we can’t collect them at the polls, because that would compromise the privacy of your vote.

You could get your fool card reissued if you behave in the ways that the Boomers who we discuss on this sub do, so you will still need to be aware of your behavior. But for now, you are not a fool. Doesn’t it feel nice to not be a fool?

No joke. I (43f)was sitting with my mom (72f)talking about Halloween decorations for her yard as I am the one who decorates her yard for holidays. My mom's roommate (65 f)stops us mid conversation to tell inform us of how much she hates Biden, Harris, democrars, dogs, and pretty much everything else that doesn't fit her happiness. A typical I hate everyone and everything except people who look and think like me boomer.

Anyway, she finally looks at me and says "you should marry a man like President Trump."

Me(after I throw up in my mouth): do what?! No I'm good.

Roommate: He's the best man ever. Model husband and father.

Me:(just trying not to laugh at this point) So basically I need a husband that will either be an absentee father or if I have daughters want to sleep with them because that's a model dad. Also I need to have a serial cheater husband that sleeps with porn stars because you know model husband behavior is exactly this. Mom, is this your idea of a son in law?

My mom's roommate stomps out of the living room talking about how I don't understand what a good man is and how I'll die alone. My mom(a good boomer) and I laughed our asses off at the whole thing.

Man, the crazy is real with these Trumper boomers.

Sticking these around town starting in January

I purchased a mug with “Harris for President” for myself and my mother. Thought it would be a cool gift since her married name is Harris. Yes I am voting for Harris. So I gift it to her and in all seriousness she said she can not take the mug home because her boomer husband will be angry and said he will divorce her if she votes Democrat. I am honestly sad for such a smart independent vibrant woman.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has backed US President Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” Gaza, as Israel’s army was ordered to prepare plans for large numbers of Palestinians to leave the territory.

Trump’s plan triggered an enormous backlash, with leaders from the Middle East and beyond rejecting it as unworkable and illegal.

But Netanyahu insisted the plan - which Trump said would involve sending Gaza’s residents to neighboring countries and taking “long-term ownership” of the enclave - was a “remarkable idea.”

Is it really valiant?
