Imagine if there was someone in the world who actually wanted to fix problems relating to poverty, healthcare, crime, racism, war, inequality and so on. The first step would be to learn about those issues. Labels like right wing or left wing would be cast aside. The goal would be to get to the truth/facts of things.
Out of all of the people in the world, how many care enough about real issues to make an effort to educate themselves? In my experience, the answer is: almost no one. Everyone wants to speak as if they're the chosen one with all the answers. No one cares enough to invest the time or effort to get real answers. Both left wing and right wing share this in common. Topics relating to political reform and social progress are dominated by demographics whose only interest is fattening their wallets, stroking their egos or pushing an agenda of some type.
Neither boomers nor millennials can claim a patent on legitimacy. Both boomers and millennials are identical in most respects. The only real difference is boomers having lived through more of history and recognizing more about how it has changed. Millennials also carry a disadvantage of having been processed through state run education during an era where it was far more corrupt.
The people that do know about these issues, usually left wingers, get ignored or made fun of by liberals and the right, usually because these people don't understand much. Labels cannot be cast aside as the left, right, liberals, and center have different views on how to handle things. Often, the majority do not like to get to the facts of things, and conservatives especially like to lie or deceive people, based on what I"ve seen of their talking points.
From what I've seen, it's usually the left wingers that care enough about real issues that they try to educate themselves and talk about it. They tend to have more evidence to back up their points and aren't quick to believe what they want like liberals and conservatives are. I will admit I've come across very few conservatives/republicans who do actually invest time and effort to learn both sides and can be impartial. However, that's extremely rare.
Boomers have not only lived through more of history, they've also made and continue to make decisions that affect millennials horribly and then blame millennials for their conditions. Boomers benefited immensely from being born at the right time, from their predecessor generations affecting change that helped them to economy being very strong. I'm sure education was no better during that time either.
Good eye.
Even if the meme is incorrect. There are things which are accurate, I would prefer to avoid posting. Cool?
All I see is that you don't have anything accurate or solid, but you're just pretending you do. Instead of posting memes, post proof and evidence. Stop believing memes that agree with you, which I usually see Trump supporters do.
MLK didn't belong to any party... It's outright false that he belonged to the republican party. That's just history. And during the civil rights era, the republican party was against those... Add to that, the longest filibuster in history was carried out by a republican to stand up against the civil rights bill (or whatever the document was). neither the republican party not the democrat party today have the same views they had back during the civil war or even during the early 20th century... It's not as simple as saying the parties have switched views obviously but in broad terms republicans during the civil war were pro federal government, pro union and against slavery... southerners or democrats were pro slavery and extremely conservative folk that represented big plantations and whatnot. Also, come one, you don't see democrats proudly carrying confederate flags. As in, the very confederacy that betrayed the US and tried to leave it for the sake of slavery per its constitution....
That's literally the only talking point most republicans have when talking about racism and the party.
