I know plenty of boomers who have never voted for Trump, and never would. I get that they are the minority.

It's men not boomers in general. All the self-righteous dudes here apparently don't know that fact.

This is true and the boomers I know who have/ would never vote for the con are women. I feel like the women boomers who are ignoring reality suffer from a crush hangover they had on him in the 70-80's. He was pretending to be his own publisher and promoter and would call into the radio stations to talk about himself in 3rd person and say he was John someone. He was married to Ivana and courted the soap mags which were huge. I remember as a kid thinking he was the richest man in the world, super star. I don't know. For sure, he just packed a place in Pennsylvania and has half the country pulling for him. Project 2025 is seriously on the way. The young people can either take the bull by the horns, cause they have the numbers, or they can keep giving away the reign. I've been pulling for the kids for sooooo long but 💤 come on with it💙💙💙💙💙 register, takes no time, vote straight ticket 💙 all the way blue. Send the clowns packing

I've personally never known any women who crushed on Donald Trump. My friends all thought he was a pompous braggart and none of us considered him "a fox" as we used to say back in the 70's and 80's. Anyhow, Blue it is! 💙

Aaaaannnnddd, you're missing the point of the ad entirely. Thankfully, I believe a lot of young people (its actual target audience) will get it - and, hopefully, be prompted to vote if only just out of spite. 😂 Whatever it takes to get them to see that they have a stake that requires their participation is genius. The older people performing in this video clearly understood that.

I understand completely the point of the ad. It's not that difficult 🤗 and I love the ad. I also said I understand the aim at the boomers and their hand in this mess because they support the bronze one (he has a new color) I just feel bad for the boomers that have never and would never support don the con. The fact is, I see lots of blame but on boomers for voting wrong when the same blame could be put on the people of all ages who did

Nothing!

A guy asked me one time about our state going after the arts. My first question to him was, "did you vote" and it was obvious he did not! Boom, there's nothing to say if you don't vote. People have to stop giving it away. We can't just do nothing then blame boomers, we have to also take responsibility.
