What Do You Call Boomers Exhibiting the After-Effects of Drug-Fueled Education?
MAGA Republicans, baby!

Hear me out. This will be worth it because I think, no, I know I’ve figured out the deal with today’s Boomers, you know, all the crazy old people with more money than teeth, who support their orange god with the comb-over, the soon-to-be former “Teflon President” and current soon-to-be felon multiple times over.
Let’s call this “stupidity explained”. It will assist you in understanding the mindless numb-nuts elected to Congress, not to mention almost every other existing problem in this country, and why nothing ever gets resolved for the citizens of the country.
Drugs.
How could I say this about an entire generation? Well, because I too am a Boomer, born in 1951. From the mid-60s through the late 70s, we Boomers were called hippies, freaks, and things I won’t dive into here.
Some of us were drafted or signed up and went to ‘Nam. Fewer came back whole. Many others like myself went to college, and even more ingested lots of illegal drugs.
Anyone watching a Trump rally, or even better interviews with these MAGA Q-Anon-loving conspiracy supporters first should note the ages of these people. Many are old, really old, like me (I look waaay better than they all do), their brains addled by illicit drugs (unlike me).
After the 70s, Boomers destroyed their brain cells through decades of ingesting Dry Martinis, Jack and Cokes, and untold numbers of Margaritas and bad (as in Miller and Old Style) beers in very large quantities. Most Boomers still do. And, believe it or not, still smoking pot even though few will be honest about that part. These are dear readers, the Baby Boomers of today… MAGA cult members.
Additionally, they have access to the Medicare pharmaceutical cabinet with unequaled access to pharmaceuticals to fit their every need, want, and desire.
But back in the 60s and 70s, there was pot, LSD, Mescaline, Speed, Qualuudes, reds, whites and every color in between. A huge number of Boomers took any and all of these. Most Boomers won’t admit to it, but they did. Bet on it. Some still do and are locked into pharmaceuticals like Ambien.
Today many are addicts (alcoholics are addicts for the uninitiated by the way). Many Boomers hide all this (except the alcohol part) and won’t admit to being addicts, drunks, or to still smoking pot. But, many are and they still do.
“Contrasting with the younger generations, the baby boomers tend to enjoy their alcohol consumption much more than the generation that precedes them. Researchers have found a steady increase in alcohol use and binge drinking in the generation that is mostly comprised of individuals in the 65-plus demographic.”
They look so much like all those old toothless farts waving Trump flags and wearing their cute MAGA hats, don’t they? This is because, sadly, many Boomers are these old, toothless farts waving Trump flags and wearing MAGA hats.
I went to a small (550 students) Christian college in Northwest Ohio in 1969 and left after my Junior year in 1973. Drugs were the favorite pastime back then. Anyone in their 60s and up knows this isn’t bullshit.
People I know from back then who used drugs are now lawyers, pharmaceutical salespeople, a judge, a former mayor, business owners, CEOs of various companies, and on and on the list goes. Now they are the retired lawyers, bankers, cops, and so on, with far too much time on their hands as is obvious from Trump rallies. In Florida, Arizona, and other places where these brain-addled people survive, they can be seen driving their golf carts adorned with their Trump 2024 flags.
There you have it. This is the problem with Boomers in this country that others, younger and hopefully smarter citizens face. Boomers are a large group, consisting of addicts, who are retired, with far too much money and time.
Now hopefully, the next time you see an interview with one of these nitwits, or view them en masse at a Trump circus, you will be able to understand why they act and speak as they do. You will also now be able to understand why this country has become so f**ked up. I can say with zero pride that my generation is the most f**ked up generation in this country’s history. Now you know why.
Remember these words from The Who: “Hope I die before I get old.” Welp, these old freaks didn’t die. They live among us. Those of us who are sane pay the price.
