My Mom was living in Winnipeg, and with 4 of her 20something GFs, "borrowed" one of the parents sedans and they drove 17 hours in the Midwestern winter to go see the tour. Years later my mom saw that Simpson skit where Lisa Simpson is figuring out who voted for Sideshow Bob it was all these people in the cemetery, and they had grave marker for the Big Bopper with the Epitaph goodbye baby with him holding a disconnected phone receiver
Grats! And yes it sucks about them dying. I buried my sister on a wedding anniversary, so I can relate. Still, you take the good with the bad. Happy birthday!
Nearing my 60s, yes... But there was fuck all I could do about it.
It all started in the fuckin' 80s, reagan's policies, the rise of ayn rand conservatism, infomercials, the news transforming into entertainment, and the birth of the corpo-class/corporate America...
I am glad to see some older people recognize how fucked this is. I have a friend in his 60s who voted for dickhead a 3rd time and now realizes how horrid that decision was.
I'm not sure about the US, but in the last Canadian election the majority of people over the age of 60 voted Liberal. It's Gen Z and Millennials that are falling for the insane right wing garbage, mostly powered by billionaire funded podcasts and influencers.
Yep, Canada's election was flipped from the US' - the older you were, the more likely not to vote right-wing. The younger gens went further to the right. Not good. :/
Tbf a lot of them are having huge buyers remorse, but I remember desperately trying to get my gen-z coworkers to listen and understand before the election. I made the decision to move from one of the reddest states to the bluest right after the results were announced. Best decision i ever made, but its hard not to roll my eyes when I see them posting tl"his isn't what I voted for" when I warned them about, many times in fact, exactly what they were voting for.

You can’t vote 3 times and then ‘realize’. That’s absolutely oblivious for 10yrs and then aw fuck citizens are being killed in the street!
