Well given that the GOP just caved and handed Biden the 'infrastructure' bill, and given how they tried to sabotage Trump continuously, the meme isn't wrong, it's just ahead of its time.

I mean, given the photos of him and his son together, and how his son had sex with his brother's daughter while she was underage... is anyone actually surprised? Most of these people aren't exactly known for being choosy with their victims.

Erasing boomer culture does have merit... especially if they're alive to see it happen.

Classic Rock isn't boomer culture, per se. It's just old, can be called some sub-genre of rock, and unobtrusive enough that it doesn't offend grandma's sensiblitiies when played on the radio.
That could be anything from Elvis to the likes of Green Day.
Classic Rock, especially the earliest forms people think of like Presley, were not Boomer culture, they were Silent Generation culture, you know, literally the most conservative generation of the 20th century. The Silent Generation is the generation that managed to hold the line against the youthful extremism of the Boomers, systematically pushing back against their worst impulses in the 70s and keeping Boomers out of the White House for much longer than anyone expected (seriously since 1981 when they came of age for the Presidency, for the size of the Boomer generation, we have had very few Boomer Presidents: Clinton, W. Bush, and Trump. Reagan and HW Bush were both GI generation, Obama is GenX, and Biden is Silent Generation). They're the people that Progressives talk happily about dying out since they're the ones that formed the grassroots backbone of the right since the Conservatives movements founding in the 60s.
Just because its old doesn't make something Boomer, the Boomer Generation caused a lot of problems, sure, but there were others before them.
Speaking of boomers, what exactly went wrong that the majority became, well, this egoistic uncaring mass of arseholes that proudly state they will leave nothing for their family and instead waste all their wealth on bling and fradulent charities?

The majority doesn't really do this. There's some undercurrent of they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps (and so their children should too) + the principle obvious money transfer from parents to their children (at least for the middle class) is probably college, and boomers sometimes don't understand how much college tuition has outpaced wages, and tend to be (rightfully) disillusioned with the value of college... although I think this is more rhetoric than actual behavior.
But for all that I think the overwhelming majority of boomers don't openly brag about screwing over their children like they're portrayed as doing in memes sometimes (it's a small minority which gets focused on to make the broader point about the impact of their behavior). Their politics did screw over future generations, but they tend to be more in denial or oblivious to this.

The 80s and "Greed is Good" resulting in BS like a minister saying "God made that airplane so cheap for me I just had to buy it" when asked why he spent millions on a used private jet.

Subforum Ban - Politics & Current Affairs: 2c violation, Rule 3 violation.
The trend today is for 'boomer' to mean anything old and despised, which is the sense in which I used the word. Let their songs die with them, whether they are boomer babies, silent cowards, or kinslayers. There were good people among these generations, sure, but they were the minority. You give them too much credit. They only appear good compared to our current garbage generations, whose degeneracy is the work of the traitor generations.
It was the traitor generations that enacted no-fault divorce and child-support slavery, and made it normal for so-called "peace officers" to break up families, beggar and imprison fathers, and leave the kids without masculine teaching.
It was the traitor generations that chose to slaughter other European peoples by the millions, doing utterly evil shit like carpet bombing of cities, but who failed to fight and keep their own cities, choosing 'white flight' from African violence.
It was the traitor generations that put money over God, who replaced Christ with televangelism and science-worship, who submitted to the absurd false doctrine that government deserves protection against religion, and who brought all manner of un-godly and perverse media into their homes, making it available to their children, because they found it pleasurable.
It would be hard to list all their failings, this is just three of the really big ones. It would be well for their 'art' to be thrown in the garbage. Better to look back to great artists from past centuries, to art from foreign cultures that were not pozzed, and to new art that celebrates beauty rather than animal stimulation.
I thought this thread was for posting like image based memes or maybe amusing tweets and discussing them, not posting sarcastic Yahtzee apologia in a deadpan tone.
Are we like supposed to take a screenshot of the post and repost it or something? 🤷♀️
Anyways, voluntary thread tax.
After they invented Childhood Obesity, they hit us with this.

So this is either a 2c violation (posting inflammatory content to bait other users) or a Terms of Service issue. You've been warned before and told to stop with this kind of behavior, and yet you continue to ignore both public warnings and private warnings from the staff.
Well turns out that I, for one, am tired of your behavior. Have a month off from Politics & Current Affairs.

This is another one of those posts where I am unsure of whether it is serious or satire/trolling, especially since its name is Karen and resembles Harry Potter.

@ResitsTrump is indeed a parody account.
