Boomers are the worst generation ever.
Social Security is not a handout or benefit! The plan was sold as a 401K/Annuity managed by the government. You make deposits from every dollar you earn, and when you reach retirement age we'll let you have it back in monthly checks, until you die. Oh btw you have no choice! Just let me have the money, I've invested, and I'll be on my way......Muy said:General Jack D. Ripper said:

If you're referring to SS, they were guaranteed this their entire working lives, and the rest of us will want ours when we get there as well.

Man, I personify this thread.
My boomer mother became extremely liberal because she thinks Trump is too crass and everything that the traditional mainstream media on her TV says is the truth.
Meanwhile my 48-yr old Gen X self can't imagine voting Democrat now or at any point in my remaining years.
And my 15-yr old sports-playing, camping and fishing enthusiast son seeks out Charlie Kirk and Daily Wire videos on his own and if he could vote would have 100% voted for Trump. From what I can tell most of his teammates are the same and laugh at insane ultraliberal tiktok videos, which I attribute to Gen X raising our kids with a similar mindset as us. That's what gives me hope for the future.

I remember when people on here called me crazy when I said Trump is doing really really well with GEN Z after the cats and dogs deal. I was correct
42% is pretty damn good
I don't know if you're being facetious... but this boomer says you better get a seccond job... learn to code... mow lawns... 'cause I'm collecting my social security in a few years.General Jack D. Ripper said:

This boomer isn't worried. No pun intended... but I'll be grandfathered in. "They" won't just shut it down... "OK everybody, no more checks starting tomorrow". That's simple minded (liberal/democrat) thinking/fear-mongering.javajaws said:
Serious reply here: I wonder if the boomers are getting worried about SS and medicare cuts and think those would be safer under a Democrat?

The millenials are starting to get married, have children, purchase homes, and move up in their career fields. As such, these 18-29 year olds are now more than ever in favor of the government not telling them and not taking their money.Catag94 said:That jump from 2020 (and 2016) to 2024 in the 18-29 year olds is welcomed change. This gives me more hope for this country.Logos Stick said:

Did they teach you Boomers how to read a chart? Millennials led the way but in 2008 even Boomers went for Obama. Then both Boomers and X flipped back
