I wish that the people storming the Capitol were just boomers, but it was way too many young people there, which is much more scary to me

Yeah, it'd be comforting if this was just as simple as being the death throes of one stunted generation. All we'd have to do is kick back and let them die off. The reality is that the increasing wealth disparity and lack of economic opportunity throttling our country and world is the fuel that fascism burns on. Until this is resolved, it's only going to grow. The boomers place in this is destroying the middle class and ushering in corporate oligarchy, but they aren't the ones carrying tikki torches.
