Old people like stability. Trump is the antithesis of that


That's bullshite.

We older Americans want honesty and integrity in their government ... and we're loving the shake-up Trump brings.

We older Americans want security AND stability and we recognize there is neither in this country right now.

We older Americans want our retirement funds to last and continue to grow. Both are looking pretty damn good right now.

We older Americans still believe in our Constitution and Trump is honoring that promise far more than Democrats have done.

We older Americans are disgusted with the SJW bullshite, with our farleftwingliberalnutjob so-called institutions of higher learning. We're fricking fed-up with the crap our kids and grandkids are being taught in schools from the first grade on. The revisionist history, the failure to teach math and the sciences ... which is why we are not producing enough engineers in this country btw.

We older Americans are tired of seeing our health care costs, including prescriptions, skyrocket .... and place the blame firmly at the feet of the democrats with their Obamacare bullshite.

We older Americans are tired of seeing our borders wide open and liberals paying illegals to breed so that their voter base is expanded. (That's going to backfire on the libtards with the Latinos btw.)

We older Americans are sick of the corruption, the marginalizing of everyone who does not agree with the socialist libtard agenda.

We older Americans are fed-the-frick-up with the libtard media and their fake news and false narratives.

I could go on and on ... but none of it leads anyone to really believe all we care about is stability. Hell, we lived through the shite show that was the 60's and the 70s, as adults, and except for the Regan years this country has been a non-stop unstable hot fricking mess. So we're used to it ... we've been dealing with the libtard bullshite our entire lives and we're immune to instability.

What we really want is to see this mess cleaned-up.

More so than someone who stays and keeps making exceptions, like a battered wife, just to feel good about sticking with their "team?" Might want to rethink what a moron is.

White college graduates over the age of 60 now favor Democrats over Republicans for Congress by a 2-point margin. The same group favored Republicans by 10 percentage points during the same polling period in 2016.


Two points is within margin of error. Ten points, not so much. To call this a true twelve point swing is laughable.

And we know that these polls flat out over sample and effectively lie in an attempt to shape opinion.

Wait; I thought all the old people had already been killed (and the muslims, mexicans, gays, and the CHILDREN!). That was Trump who did that, right?

How are all these dead people s'posed to vote?...

How many white people over 60 graduated from college? The number can’t be very high . Also where do these people live besides California and NY?

Anyone who switches in one election is doing so because of superficial reasons. There is absolutely nothing similar between Democrats or Republicans these days.
