“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”
No, buddy. You DID vote for this. You absolutely voted for ALL of this because everything Trump is doing now, he promised, and campaigned on. And you yourself noted he’s a Lying Liar that Lies. So you absofuckinglutely voted for all of what’s going on right now.
“When you feel like the status quo will do nothing and change nothing, you have way more of a longer leash for the outsiders’ ideas than you do the status quo’s ideas,” he said. “And I think that was the idea with Trump, who’s like, ‘Maybe he will stop these wars.’ No. ‘Maybe we will see what’s up with this Epstein s–t.’ No.”
Take it from somebody who grew up as the Shitgibbon did. He used you. Just like he’s used everyone else. You thought he’d expose himself as being a kiddy-diddler? Take the legal risk of being jailed, losing his whole Teflon schtick? Fuck no, that’s for the LITTLE people. Like you!!! And maybe you can wrap your head around this little fact. All politicians have their issues, mainly because the guy you pick is opposed by everyone else who wants the pie all to their own. But Trump is worse than most!
Is that not an excuse already? The boomer generation grew up absolutely saturated with lead and they’re dumb as shit.
Some of us grew up breathing in all the lead and still think guys like this are unbelievable idiots. Low-level lead poisoning may make you slightly stupider and more angry, but I really don’t think it explains MAGA idiocy. In fact, it gives MAGAs an excuse they don’t deserve. Their racist, reactionary, destructively macho attitudes are on them, not on lead.
The story that MAGAs are like this because of lead poisoning is just another version of the eternal hope that the next generation will see sense and fix things. It never works out that way. Each generation’s assholes get the upper hand under capitalism. The MAGA oldies are particularly nasty and stupid not because of lead but because of how they lived most of their lives during capitalism’s prosperous heyday of post-WW2 reconstruction, but the world is changing and they want to hang on to their privilege at everyone else’s expense, even if it means fascism. It’s their own selfishness, narrow-mindedness and wilful ignorance. We don’t need to divert the blame to lead.
Thank you.
The other thing to point out is that there are plenty of Taco supporters in younger generations which most likely had a lot less lead exposure.
Depends on the boomers. My parents and all their friends are/were just fine when it came to their mental faculties. I’m not sure boomers are really much different than prior generations or the ones that followed…
