This prediction was made before the 2016 election, but it is spot on the mark. The mentally ill are predictable is some aspects.

Wow. Odd combination of getting something absolutely right and also wrong at the same time. He seems to have been simply presuming Trump would lose 2016, so in that he was wrong, but his prediction of how Trump would react to a loss was spot-on. Just a few years early, is all.

That's an interesting stat. And, yes, I was absoultely going to say "that's because they're young", and, yeah, if the stat given is accurate they pre-emptively answered that one


But maybe it's the Boomers who are the outliers, in historical terms? They were unusual in gaining wealth young, maybe?

yep. boomers took advantage, more than any other generation, of the new pension/middle class/GI Bill/cheap property/cheap education/expansive blue collar labor more than any other generation ever...mainly because it was all created for them so that they could be successful...to which they took great advantage by looting the system and systematically voting to destroy it such that no following generation could ever share in their unique privilege that "they earned" (but was really created by the blood of their parents)

so, yeah, they are outliers because they thrived in a system that only existed for them, and they will damn sure go to the grave making sure that no one else gets access. :D (not everyone, obviously, but boomernomics is literally why we are were we are right now, with all the confused rage from so many people)

That perfectly describes my parents. They had it easier than any other generation, and they honestly believe they "built this country". So annoying. Might be due to the fact government and corporations were constantly kissing their butts to make them feel good about themselves for approximately 40 years or so. They've also been fed more propaganda than any other generation.

What he got wrong has nothing to do with Trump, but the voters. His focus was clearly how a mentally ill shitbag would react, and that he nailed.
