When I was growing up, I always heard that you get more conservative as you age. I turn 52 soon, and I seem to keep moving further left with every year. Turns out no, everyone doesn't stop giving a shit about the people younger than themselves, that's just the fucking Boomers. The 'Me' generation. This entire generation seems to think the world started when they were born and will cease to exist the moment they die. World War II spawned a generation of narcissists.

If you run on actual progressive policies that enhance the lives of everyday Americans, you win support. Whether this will lead to winning elections under the Trump Regime remains to be seen, after all, "I only won Pennsylvania because Elon knows how those vote counting computers work."
