    Reminds me of Salem witch trials, where medicine women were sentenced to death for not being able to cure sick people and when they did try to help and people didn’t listen, they were blamed for their prediction coming true.

    It’s just Boomer logic, if you tell them what they don’t want to hear or don’t understand, they get belligerent.

    It’s not just that it’s a normal part of aging, it’s that they were exposed to lots of leaded car exhaust and that effects the same part of our brain. The part that handles critical thinking.

    Without that ability people just get angry when challenged. It’s not unique to trumpers, it’s everyone in that age group and it will keep getting worse as they keep getting older.

    They’re not capable of running shit anymore, but they’re also not capable of realizing that.
