I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

I've cut out pretty much every boomer-age person from my life, biologically related and otherwise, in the last few years. Something about trump-moist either made them worse or just made the masks fall off and they were always that way.

I helped a few of them out of homelessness-adjacent financial crises in the past (one was a house-flipping parasite that became over-leveraged during the 2008/2009 recession and lost just about everything and needed enough money to stay off the street until they got a job). If such things happened again now, they're on their own, especially after their red-faced bloodthirsty rants about "the storm" and what they wanted to happen if it came for the (slurs). frothingfash
