[ID/ Three tweets by Kivan (@KivaBay) that read, respectively:

“The reason there are so many conservative boomers is the poor ones die sooner”. (A meme of someone pointing at an empty sign that has been edited to read “boomer vs millennial” discourse is no replacement for class analysis. the rich are oppressors, not the elderly.”)

“This isn’t even a joke. If you want to know why an older generation seems like a bunch of out of touch rich bastards, it’s because more of the wealthy than the poor survived”.

“Think of how many boomers we lost to poverty, ableism, the AIDS crisis, racist violence and murder”. /end ID]

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Don’t Survive to Become Seniors

Poor people die younger in the U.S. That skews American politics.
