“All this antisemitism is very frightening,” she continued. “I know the baristas here and it’s just very upsetting that all these young people are – I don’t know what they are, ignorant? Hateful? Brainwashed? It’s very scary this is what’s happening in this country, but I hope somebody knows how to fix it because it’s really scary.”

Quitting your job is now antisemitism.

    “You’ll become more conservative as you get older” is the biggest bullshit. The large majority of gen x and boomers are lifelong conservatives if you applied today’s standards. You were progressive in the 80’s if you thought gay people dying of AIDs was maybe sort of a bad thing. Most people’s core values either stay consistent or evolve more progressive over time

    Even if you look at voteing patterns, major differences between party preference and age didn’t really become a rule until more recently; 18-24 year old boomers reelected Reagan harder than most generations (at over 60%), and 18-24 year younger gen xers in 2000 were 50/50 split in a 50/50 split election
