What’s very interesting is this messaging appears to be regionalized. In New York, boomers gave the exact messaging you just described, but since I moved to Utah, the boomers/Xers here give this messaging: “My kids have no future, and I feel for them, but I don’t know what to do about it aside from give them an inheritance. I tell them they have problems I don’t understand and they’re going to have to just figure it out when I die.” I heard it in LDS priesthood meetings all the time, although I haven’t been so good about attending them recently.
Interesting. Religious conservatives with a pointedly-normie outward presentation “get it” more than the supposedly “hip” shitlibs of the Coasts.
