Progressive group linked with Democrat campaign organs demonizing seniors
americanthinker ^ | 10/07/2018 | Thomas Lifson

A new, amply-funded progressive group, linked to Democratic Party campaign organs, has decided to incite resentment from younger voters against senior citizens. This is yet another example of hyping identity group warfare as a strategy for success, turning Americans against each other for political profit. Having already decided that whites, males, heterosexuals, are all suspect groups to be derided, they are now reduced to pitting the young against the old -- and those who aspire to someday make it to "old."

Remind Freepers of that! Disagree with some of them and they’re accusing you of being OLD.

This is a dangerous development. Remember the Nazis killing off the old, the mentally ill, etc.

They need to remember the saying about how old guys react to being attacked. (That, and we hold most of the money.)

Reminding everyone this new Progressive Commie Leftist faction in the dim party are pure evil.

Satan’s little helpers... unknowing of course because Satan has convinced them he doesn’t exist.

Many old folks today were left leaning useful idiots 50 odd yrs ago, the hippies and yippies who had all the answers but never understood the questions. The ones who drove around in battered rusted out Volvos and VW Beetles held together with peace symbols and QUESTION AUTHORITY bumper stickers. Even though many of them, myself included at an early age, came to our senses, for those that never grew up the chickens are coming home to roost, to the detriment of the rest of us.

I suspect that Senior citizens represent a threat to the radical left, in that we remember better times, much better (and not just through the lens of selective memory.)

We are the institutional memory of the United States, we know how things really were, how people treated each other, and how we felt pretty darned good about being Americans and we enjoyed and celebrated our freedoms.

Denouncing and stigmatizing us Seniors is just the latest act in their identity shaming and American tradition-hating hysteria mongering.

Interesting. I do white collar contract work for large projects that come and go. I’ve started to encounter this from ‘those people’ and wondered what had changed.
