Just got to my hotel. I see Trump boomers all over the place. In the restaurants, in the hotel, in the lobby, in the CVS, on the road, at the gas station, at the bar, in the mall, on the street. Everywhere!

boomer's know about that commie bullshit
Indeed. As do older Gen Xers. We grew up with the very real threat of Commie Russian Nuclear war. I remember every day walking to school thinking "I wonder if we will get destroyed in a nuclear strike today". not shitting.
Story time. I'm a former Air Force brat and was in high school at an air base in West Germany in 1985. One day the principal of the high school came over the intercom and told us to stand by for an important announcement. You could hear the stress in his voice. We all immediately thought that war had kicked off with the Soviets and that the missiles would be hitting us shortly. This was the height of the Cold War and we knew that we would be one of the first targets for any attack.
Several tense minutes followed before the principle came back over the intercom and announced that a bomb had been found on one of the U.S. school buses in another part of West Germany. We were advised to be especially vigilant regarding any unattended or suspicious items on our buses. This was at a time when the Red Army Faction (German commies) were doing bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations across West Germany.
Let me tell you, we all collectively breathed a sigh of relief after that announcement that we weren't facing nuclear armageddon. We were already used to worrying about Red Army Faction terrorist attacks.
I am an Air Force brat, raised during the Cuban missile crisis and the murder of JFK. I remember seeing Sputnik for the first time over our heads and how my mom was afraid. I remember Duck and Cover drills...none of us had any idea we’d still die, but we practiced for the dropping of a nuke. I remember many things...that’s why they want us dead...we know stuff.
AF brat, and also AF vet. Will be standing with all the Patriots Wed in DC.
Shit hot show today in the crap weather in DC. Somehow I missed on the volume of the effort that was conducted on our behalf today. In the 80s, I had a theme t-shirt that said "Kill a Commie for Mommy". One of my favorites.
When I grew up overseas, the host country's soldiers boarded our buses every day and looked under the seats for bombs.
But yes, with the years comes wisdom. Glad to see some kind things said and credit given to boomers.
This, but planes
planes can carry nukes too.
Remember 'the day after' fear porn? Hahaha... I remember crying to my mom after they showed us that!
Remember The Hunt for Red October?
Avenge Me!!!!
That movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
The whole point of that movie was to turn people against Reagan’s stand against the U.S.S.R. Same with “Testament,” and the British film, “Threads.”
we've been lied to our entire existence
Also the one with Air Force One, heavy pro-Russian commie propaganda
Exactly.
MY PARENTS WOULDN'T LET ME WATCH IT
I ended up seeing it later but I can see why they thought it to be sensitive material. I mean, I like that I'm from a conservative family!
Remember Miracle Mile?
That show fucked me up for days.
Us mid to younger Gen-X'ers get it too. 1976, I still had duck-and-cover drills in my first couple years of school. Grew up with commies == enemy and hey, that's still true.
Xennials represent! Young enough to be current with today's technology; old enough to remember when America had its head on straight.
There is another generation between Boomers and Millennials called "Generation Jones". We are right there in-between the two. Too young for JFK to have meant anything to us and too old to find rap interesting........
Hello there! Hat down.
Yep. "Get under your desks for the nuclear bomb drill " lol
We did Duck & Cover when I was in school in 1960.
Hell, back in the 80's my elementary school STILL had an air raid siren AND tested it now and again. That thing was LOOOOUUUUUUUD! Not in tornado alley BTW - definitely part of the cold war toolset.
I am from Minnesota MANY MANY TORNADOS! I am also from the 60s born and in elementary school we had NUCLEAR and TORNADO drills. The difference was the DESK or the HALLWAY! IN a tornado drill we went into hallways and lined up on the walls. In the nuclear drills we sat under our desks!
Completely different drills!
Younger Gen Xer too. In addition getting under our desks we had some kids assigned to turn off the lights and lower the blinds. Teacher said it was to help stop flying glass caused by the shockwave.
There is an actual abandoned Nike base in my wife’s home town.
"Nike base?" Used for the sneaker war?
hell yeah duck and cover! I remember doing that in the 70's in grade school. even then I was thinking "what is this desk supposed to do if we get hit by a warhead?" lolol
We lived within a couple miles of a major first strike target, so we never had duck and cover drills. Heh!
Remember nice fresh baked monster cinnamon rolls and or buns with real fucking butter and 3cent milk brought to the class room. Then the drop stop and roll or air raid duck and cover under the desk.
wear a mask is duck and cover, but worse
Please who else do you think OP is talking about???
No one can get these generations right, fucking kids these days.
Yup, Boomers know all about communism. That's because we spent grade school hiding under our desks during weekly drills of what to do in case of a missile attack from the USSR (the United Soviet Socialist Republics, i.e., communism). Then the minute we graduated High School we were sent to Vietnam to fight communism.
Leftist boomers are running the Universties. The SJWs now know about the commie bullshit too, and favour it over capitalism
It's all about ego for those fuckers. They know they prefer capitalism in their own lives (hell, most of them are upper class, if not wealthy themselves). But they put on a front about wanting socialism/communism, just for the virtue signaling points and to go against the grain of what other people in their generation are like. They know they'll never actually have to live like a socialist/communist and will always have their home, iPhone, Tesla, and other capitalist niceties.
Who knows what they'd do if the shit they're advocating for actually worked, and they found themselves in a communist society.
Despicable, unbelievably selfish behavior. So easy to see right through them.
This is sadly true
"OK boomer" is kinda ironic because leftist boomers have been the prime force behind post modernist 'cultural Marxist' SJW formation. "OK leftist boomer"
Commie infiltration from China.
The process of subversion began here in 1913, with the creation of the Fed
The great reset is about the Fed claiming posession of whatever they want
Really?.....the anarchists and communists have been trying to take down America for well over a century. The CCP is a massive fucking problem, but the decades of infiltration (truly staggering in it's depth) is surely WAY BEYOND what the CCP has contributed.
I agree, I think the CCP is just reaping what the USSR sowed. They stepped in and filled the vacuum.
Phuk China
We actually did the duck and cover thing with the air-raid siren blasting at my elementary school. I wondered how hiding under my desk was gonna save my ass from a nuke.
We had to go to bomb shelters. I'm guessing you were in flyover Country?
Nope, S.F. Bay Area. It wasn't always lib-tarded.
This.
OKAY, BOOMERS!
