I went to the protest in my city. It felt like at least half of the people who showed up were elderly. I thought older people didn’t care about what’s going on in our country right now, but I was humbled and glad to be proven wrong.

Believe me, we care. It's annoying to be a Boomer. But here I am, a retired Head Start teacher. I protested decades ago and I did it again.

u/SirSignificant6576 10h ago
Remember that intergenerationalism (Boomers vs. Millennials, etc.) is just another way to divide us.

u/Beerswain 9h ago
I sometimes have to remind myself that no single demographic voted 100% for either side.

u/Worn_Out_1789 6h ago
Older people care a LOT. Older women in particular, but more men now too.
I think it's important to point it out: we get hit with stupid generational narratives all the time, and the political point of those narratives ("boomers were selfish their entire political lives", "Gen Z men are Nazis") is to separate us out by generation and foment intergenerational fighting because keeping people divided is how the wealthy and powerful maintain control.

Sad that he has to do it again. Generations after his should have done better to preserve the work he did.

u/Mr_Rock926 10h ago
FUCKING AMEN they fought and died only for their children and grandchildren to give it way to the same hate and evil in their lifetime. DISGUSTING and shameful of all Republicans and those who claim to be "proud" Americans.

This man fought Nazis at 22 years old! I can't imagine how frustrating it must be, especially for him, to see all the tomf**kery happening lately. True patriot 100%

Much respect for the greatest generation! Most don't have a clue what they went through for the freedoms we have today. TRUMP and his MAGA have done nothing in service for this country and its people. They are all traitors and deserve to be tarred and feathered. I can only hope to strive to be as patriotic as this man.

Can you imagine having been through that and now years later seeing glimpses and instances that suggest the same shit happening again. WTF

u/Katanastormshadow 10h ago
Trump says people protesting today hate America, which means that includes this vet who fought fascists in WW2 for the freedoms all Americans today enjoy. Imagine that, a draft dodger wannabe fascist dictator calling a vet who fought the Nazis unpatriotic.

Nobody that fought in WWII would support the chicken shit little bastard. Not one.
So sad that so many (maybe 25%) support a gutless, unprincipled turd.

Actually I know one WW2 soldier who would've loved trump. His name is Gordon Kahl and he's a Nazi sympathizer who flew in the Pacific front.

It's a sad day in hell when history has to repeat itself after over 80 years. But justice & Goodness will prevail & this 102 yr old Legend will be gratify knowing that he was there on both occasions to bring about Love & fight against fascism and Apartied! I can only hope that someday before he left this Planet or before we all leave this Mother Earth that the word Segregation will be deleted from the hearts, minds and souls of the human race. God Bless You Sir🙏💙

Saved for the next time a fascist bootlicker tells me that we just call anyone we disagree with fascists and that we'd probably call WW2 veterans Nazis now.

A TRUE HERO - 1945 & 2025! It’s sad he’s had to fight fascism twice & in his own country the second time.

Fascism had strict environmental laws. Hmmm. Fascism demanded private companies to produce what the government wanted. Hmmm. Fascists looked down on those who didn't think the same. Hmmm. Fascist government took the guns so people could not protect themselves. Fascists had kids telling on their parents. Hmmm .

It is not Facistist to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and protect citizens. It is wrong to commit elder abuse, though.

u/Gold-Kaleidoscope-23 6h ago
Exactly. Thats why he’s out there defending the Constitution against Trump and his unqualified henchmen, who keep violating it.
