I know all euphemisms are just dancing around bullshit, but this particular one bothers me:

"live at home"

We all know it means that you are living with your parents. Clearly you are ashamed to say that, but you don't want to admit that. Give any reason you want for why, the fact remains that you are trying to hide this fact.

I know there are valid reasons for having to live with your parents. But when you try and conceal that detail, it tells me you do not have a good reason.

I care not whether a politician "cares" about me or not, or whether they live by their proclaimed values. What I do care about is how much are they interfering with my life.

As useless as Republicans are, they generally do not interfere with what I want to do. Democrats, on the other hand, do.

Obviously Rinos are in the same boat as Democrats many times in terms of messing with my life. So I really do not win even if I vote straight Republican. Still, the lesser evil is still usually less bad.

Hey, remember when libshits were so upset about how Trump was an "embarrassment on the world stage," and that he was going to make relationships with other countries worse? Well, is this an example of things getting better?

I will not argue that this is going to necessarily solve birth rate issues (we need to remove feminism for that to be fixed), but this particular issue on its own. Helping the next generation to a point when the hurdles have become higher is the right thing to do.

Yes, you do not want to coddle your children and enable bad behavior, but there is a balance that can be found. That balance can be found making sure that your children can even have the chance to raise a family in their own homes.

How many boomers have brought up to their children the "I want to have grandchildren" conversation? If they do bring up this sort of thing, do they understand that buying a home is a major hurdle for those who want to start a family?

If they really, really want those grandchildren, they should be willing to pitch in their own finances to help get a house for their own children. Perhaps some do, but I do not think this is common.

Many homes have become very expensive. So expensive that some people cannot get a foot in the door to get their first house by their own power. Boomers who look down upon younger generations for not being able to get their own home should really reserve their judgement, as they are a part of the problem for why homes are so prohibitively expensive. After all, they like seeing their property values increase. So they vote to keep it that way, even at the expense of the younger generations.
