    Side note, why can't we have a president like Justin Trudeau? Oh, right, we did with Obama, and people like Trump are racist d*ckbags.

      Boomers don't exist.

      Generations don't exist.

      People really need to get over that.

      Time is a river, it's not a NASCAR race. And the only differences between people born in different years are by definition external and cultural, so they deserve neither credit nor blame for them, so even single year -- or month -- or day cohorts, while they exist, are meaningless.

                  If you look at that link that I posted a few posts ago, look at the volume of petitions for pardon or clemency that have flooded into the Trump administration compared with past presidents. It's pretty obvious that people view Trump as a wild card and that he might just be willing to grant clemency to just about anyone.

                    Demographic bubbles certainly exist. And we've had this discussion before, but I'd like to think that if the individuals who make up the boomer generation and the individuals who make up the millennial generation switched places in time, the outcomes would be different. Everyone's a product of their time, but they also influence their times as well.

                    In other words, I don't want to think the election of Reagan was always destined to happen.

                        yes, they are. But since Trump and Republicans aren't going to do anything to fix them, and in fact are working actively to make them worse, than what's your solution?

                          That makes literally no sense.

                          It's the same human fecal matter. In the aggregate it is what it is -- how it reacted to a situation is how it will react.

                          Unless you are saying take Millenials and Boomers and switch places *when each person hits 21*. Then yes, the situation will be different. But who cares? It won't be anything to do with them. It will just be because the extruded plastic machines of their youth formed them into a different shape.

                          But the fact that people are proud (or ashamed) of their cohort is ridiculous. They had no agency in who they became, in the aggregate.

                          Individuals differ, yes, of course. But groupings like this are just another way for people to say HURRAY FOR MY TEAM!

                          Which is just a way to say HURRAY FOR ME!
