Tom Toles for February 22, 2018

An accurate summation.

You know how your generation’s motto is “Live for today”? Let us show you exactly what that means.

SINS OF YOUR FATHERS – {limerick and coda}

You youthful folks will inherit

the results of our policies’ demerit.

The sins of your fathers

give You many bothers.

You’ll have to just grin and bear it.

… Coda:

To you we bequeath

a yuuge batch of grief.

=======

Well, lessee. We’ve had:

The Greatest Generation

The Baby Boomers

Generation X

The Millennials

And now, I guess, Generation Stiffed.

The Millennials had to go in debt for a college education that my generation could pay for with earnings from a summer job. The wages were lowered by the Bush recession and the long slow recovery as Obama and congress were busy imposing extreme partisanship on the nation. Gen-Z watched this happening and I hope that they and the Millennials put an end to the madness by electing people that have more love for their country than some extreme, non-productive political ideology that only serves a tiny fragment of the population.

It is telling that the Gun Trolls like Don Jr. are calling them liars and Alex Jones as usual says it is all fake. What a bunch of slimey MFs.

Screw it, you aren’t OUR Kids, so what do WE care?? OUR kids are in exclusive private Schools.

Want to do something (anything!) about gun violence? Don’t vote Republican. For now, that means vote Democratic, or be an accessory to mass murder.

We weren’t the target demographic back in the 60’s and early 70’s either but the amount of social and political pressure we brought down helped bring our brothers and sisters home from Vietnam and eventually brought down a president. These kids can do it too. The sad part is, however, Wall St. commercialized our culture causing it to fizzle out.

That is the GOP attitude.

See the Republicans for what they really are, heartless thieves, liars and racists who love only money, which is the root of evil, right?

Why would you vote for that?

Oh and don’t get sick or have a pre-existing condition. The GOP is working very hard at making access to healthcare more difficult.

Oh and don’t forget Republican submission to their overlord Putin.

Corruption, molestation and treason. The Republican ‘brand’. It’s time to sweep this garbage away forever. Cleanse America.

The elephant in the room forgot pollution and wars-for-profit……..

Republicans plan to force you to repay your student loan and they took away the teachers tax deduction. They don’t care about America at all.

Meanwhile the GOP has put forward HR620 to gut the American Disabilities Act. All you gummers who voted for Trump won’t have walker or wheelchair access to your favorite restaurants, pubs, or even sidewalks if municipalities are not disabled friendly. Oh wait! I’m gonna be one of those gummers in a day or two! I guess I’ll need a walker with a gun mounted to fix it, right GOPers?
