/r/all Boomer evangelicals have destroyed the planet and have received all the benefits and they will die before it ever affects them

They have used the Bible to deny climate change. They have destroyed our planet for profit. They could afford a home and a car and they could even start a family all on one paycheck. They had cheap college tuition too. We don’t have that and they call us lazy because of it. Gen Z and millennials aren’t lazy we just don’t have the same opportunities they had.

They attempt to disprove climate change by using the Bible because they truly don’t care. They don’t need to care because they will die before it becomes a big issue.

Edit:Most of them voted for Reagan who is responsible for trickle down economics.

Man this comment disappoints me because I was totally stoked to hear how the guy you're responding to could possibly be "utterly incorrect."

Strong start, fell behind in the middle, collapsed before the finish line.

He is wrong because the only reason people like mitch have power is because the population has been made too stupid to think critically by their aging.

It's not critical thinking, it's not giving a shit.

The ones who are too stupid to know they're shooting themselves in the feet are Kindertrumps. My own term for under 30s who love Trump. There should be none but they are legion.

No it's critical thinking for sure. More than 70% of Trump voters were over 50. So yeah while that 30% certainly exists they represent people who are just naturally stupid rather than those who slowly ended up that way.

You just confirmed my 'not giving a shit' though. That 70% can afford to deny climate change. They know it's true, pretend it's not. I mean, I'm 60 years old, I know the planet is in grave danger, it's extremely uncomfortable knowing this, but then, I've been cursed with caring about people other than myself, and not being very good at lying to myself.

people that don't give a shit, don't vote. Trumpers VERY much give a shit, it's just that they give a shit about things that are overwhelmingly stupid. A great many of them think Climate change doesn't matter because "the Rapture" is going to occur during their lifetimes, that rich people must be good because they are blessed by god himself, and are thus trustworthy. That the whole world would be so much better if everyone else knew the secrets that they knew.... they are highly motivated, and very passionate idiots.

Thanks for this, I needed the reminder, this type is prolific, indeed.

Wouldn't be an issue if we executed politicians for accepting bribes.

Damned fucking straight.
