“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

who, if they came home alive, were sometimes damaged beyond repair.
In case anyone forgot
George, “resistance has no age limit”…my sweetheart is 90 and I am nearing 89‼️‼️
AGE GENDER ABILITY LANGUAGE
All are needed
America The Beautiful
I'll give you a clue, it's not their literal age
The crew cut dickwits we fought in the 60's & 70's are the ones who created MAGA, not those of us who've spent our lives trying to make things better. Old hippies fight for justice, friends. And, with or without our walkers, we will continue to fight. 💯
You screw us over, we got nothing to lose but a few years of sitting in jail for sticking an icepick in your ear.
Okay?
Im proud to know we taught our children well.

I strained both my smiling and waving muscles.

Where we all align is in the sanctity of the US Constitution in America.
(Re voting: 40 years ago I did make one exception — for a local NY Assemblyman whose opponent was a weird kid.)
That future is now…..
We're great fn humans. No apologies.
It's interesting to me that the boomers are both seem more likely to vote, and also seem more likely to protest.
As usual, it's us GenX and Millennials who need to show up more.
One of the things Dr. Fisher mentioned in her post about that article (but not in the article itself) is that the median age of protestors is trending down. So more younger people are starting to show.
But, lots of younger folks were out, too!!
PS: I 💙 "Grantifa" 🔥
Burn the whole thing down.
and eat the rich but tax them to high heaven before that.
We won.
My Cousins were of an age for the big league protests.
Those were "greatest generation". 🙄

Boomers CALL your senators
Taco is desperate for the horrible DEATH budget to pass
Keep CALLING senators
This bill is coming up for a vote 🛑 STOP 🛑 this DEATH budget bill
Keep calling senators (202) 224-3121
We all are very aware that the last twenty years is all that younger folks have seen.
Many don’t recall Obama.
But they see the hate that arose as a response to Obama.
We remember before that.
I love Grantifa, too. It was on a very, very clever woman’s sign!
Thanks, friend!

I wish the youth had the same knowledge of life experiences to help them see that this is all it is a big swindle a grand bait and switch.
Thank you to all “boomers” who came back
Both party’s were tricked one broke the constitution.
Impressive widows who came on their own and wanted their Republican kids to know it by having their pictures taken.
Inspiring! And… pissed! 😡

There has never been a US leader more at odds with national ideals and principles. The best response is infinite resistance.

There should be governance.
Be conservative in the home.
Hold personal conservative values if you wish.
But a national policy or ordidrncy based on conservatism is not sustainable.
Conservatism is exclusionary and a nation can’t be that way.

CHICKS UP FRONT.
