(1,250 posts)Ugh 40. Yikes! I even hate writing that.
I prefer to call it 20-20.
There was 29 & then 20-10, 20-11, 20-12...now 20-20.
That's why I say I'm the older of the younger generation.
But I'm still the younger generation.
I'm seeing more inspiration from the Occupy & Black Lives Matter crowd than the Establishment.
It's hard to fight when you get comfortable I guess.
I remember Ice Cube when he had that permanent crease between his eyebrows.
Now Ice Cube can't hardly scrunch up his face.
How you gonna be mad when you finally got status?
How you gonna be mad when you finally arrived?
And I think that's the biggest thing on why our elders are not plugged into what's going on with us today.
That's why this election is seeing such a big disconnect between most voters of these different generations all ACROSS the scale.
Yeah still 39 so far AKA 20-19.
And will STILL be 39 on Tuesday when I put in my vote for Bernie Sanders.
