They think they’re on the right side of history. It’s 100% deliberate. They never admit they are wrong about anything because the thought is completely foreign to them. Right wing boomers absolutely believe they are 100% in the right on every single issue. They can’t even imagine they aren’t.

Why specifically call out people over 60 here…?
Because they vote republican by a large margin?
Looks like 35% republican vs 33% democrat (versus 32% “independent” who might all vote republican for all I know).
But there’s a lot of republicans under 60 too so not getting the point of the random ageism.
Lemmy is big on ageism and throwing around the word boomer (incorrectly.)
Which is funny since there are a lot of older people on Lemmy, who most likely do not agree with the Republican agenda.
Except the Senate actually is boomers. Average age over 60
Here’s one reason:
The average age of senators in the 118th Congress was 64 years old
The average age of the 118th Congress was 58 years old
The geriatric kleptocracy is a serious problem in the US.
