That's going to send a number of boomers into an existential crisis.
Doubt it. Any Elon musk supporter, Boomer or not, would call Elton John a fag or groomer and pretend they never liked him at this point.
God damnit, you're right. So many times I've seen my mother turn on some celebrity that she used to like.
"I don't understand why _____ had to get political. I used to like _____" hmmm maybe it's because you're a fucking awful person?
"I'm not awful, I just think our governor is doing the best job right now"
Our governor took food out of children's mouths, and she has a grandson in school. But... "You make too much to get those welfares anyway."
Yeah but my kids' friend's parents don't. Please explain to my son why he gets to eat but his friends don't.
It's just infuriating how much unnecessary suffering goes on in this country just because shitty people have shitty views.
