A group of high schoolers in Tulsa ditched class to sneak into a Trump rally and get this pic taken before being swiftly escorted out.

30+. I would just prefer the naivity of youth, and even some of the more ridiculous aspects of identity politics they younger generation seems to concern itself with, over something.substantive, than i do the vitriolic, quackery, bigotry and cynicism of baby boomers who have given up on even having a platform anymore. They're not backing social conservatives, they're not backing principled libertarians. They're not even backing neo-conservatives who have a particular vision.

no - boomers are the group that Fox and the multiple facets of the GOP have capitalized on their social fears of brown skinned people, and whipped them into a frenzy for a decade plus. And gone are the days of the right wing having any platform. now they "exploited crazies" who have been whipped into a frenzy so social conservatives, libertarain-ish and neo-cons take advantage of them, have taken over. Little by little, you have your Palin's, your Trumps.

It's not about ANYTHING other than the last rawr of dinosaurs scared shitless of a world they don't understand, and so they're willing to blame every scapegoat their aging minds full of cognitive decline can process. It's fuck the mexicans and the gays and the blacks and muslims - even if immigration is a topic worthy of nuanced and serious discussion. They don't have solutions. It's just "fuck those people".

I'd vote for a pile of dog shit over a person that's there to capitalize on hate that just sprays and sprays directionless b/c a bunch of elderly fist shakers can't stand the fact that white male christian dominance wasn't what it once was, and they'll do so to an extent that fucks themselves financially.
