According to a frequently repeating trope on Reddit, Boomers had it real good and then PULLED up the ladder! [View all]
The frequency of the trope increases the closer we get to elections. I never let one pass when I see it.
- Do you remember the big meeting we had, the one where 77 million boomers got together and agreed to screw over our children and grandchildren?
- The stirring speeches, explaining why we should "pull up the ladder" to prevent them from having stable jobs, affordable housing, and retirement plans?
- Do you remember our instructions for how to actually "pull up the ladder"? I must have been absent that day.

There is no question that our younger folks have it rough, and the future doesn't look bright. We can only change it by building a multigenerational, multicultural coalition into an overwhelming blue wave.
When you see posts trying to stir up shit between generations, take time to respond. Our young folks need to know we are their allies.
