I’ve been a strong Joe Biden supporter but as a senior I’m alarmed by all this talk from Democrats of breaking up Facebook. Facebook is the only social media platform where we seniors feel welcome. What would we do without it? We’d be devastated.

I love Angela and she’ll always be a hero of mine, but it’s time for her to accept that the great gift of the Boomer generation is our ability to leave impractical dreams in the past. Why can’t she?

Angela is a personal hero and an old comrade from my revolutionary period in the 1970s. I had the honor of meeting her on several occasions and cherish the memory and always will. While I still have nothing but respect for Angela’s moral fortitude, I believe my Maoist past gives me hard-earned credibility to…

It’s easy for you young socialists to condemn Trump for 100,000 American deaths, but not so easy for us boomers.

My fellow boomer Stephen Stills said it best back in 1970:

You young progressives lack my generation’s sense of history, but the tactics behind these attacks on Joe are perfectly familiar to us revolutionaries of the 1960s and 70s.

I was afraid of this. COVID-19 will be this generation’s Vietnam.

We seniors literally risked our lives to vote for Joe in virus-ridden polling places.

Of course there are people who can make Joe exciting. They’re doing right now.

AOC’s political maturation comes as no surprise to us reformed revolutionaries of the 1960s and 70s.

I applaud your intellectual curiosity and would love to answer all your questions someday, but we ex-revolutionary boomers in my Facebook Biden support group have vowed to set aside the schismatic recriminations of the mid 1970s until Donald Trump is removed from office. It’s a necessary sacrifice.

Additionally, we…

I didn’t follow the Deng Reforms. They happened in my post-revolutionary nihilist phase after Vietnam ended and I left the commune in Oregon. I was apolitical in those days and cared only about cocaine, alcohol, and disco music. I got angry if people even mentioned politics in my presence. I was a mess.

Please come back 😢

Lt Gov. Patrick is right.

We senior voters literally risked our lives to vote for Joe Biden yesterday.

This is simply not true, unless you regard Twitter as the totality of the internet, which seems a common error among young people and cable TV pundits. But most Americans eschew the boorish Twitter for the cerebral civility of Facebook. Your square grandparents understood this all along. Joe Biden’s victory came as…

It’s true that we boomers put an end to the Bernie Revolution last night, and for that we will not apologize, but it still breaks our hearts to watch you young folks grieve so. We will allow you a respectful mourning period, but understand that all Americans of goodwill must band together behind Joe Biden to defeat…

My heart goes out to all you young people who invested your sweat and tears in the dream of the Bernie Revolution, but you must know your Revolution ended last night. Today begins the grieving process, all five stages of it.

I know how painful it is, because I lived it.

In the early 1970s, ensconced in our armed…

Youthful revolutionaries tend to cloister themselves into intellectual islands. Insularity is a poison of the mind. You can talk yourself into believing anything when you’re surrounded by other true believers.

I warned you Kinja and Twitter denizens to look to Facebook if you wanted to take the pulsebeat of America, but you scoffed. Back in the 1960s we college-educated boomers allowed our remoteness from working Americans to cause us to overestimate their appetite for revolution. We resolved never to repeat that mistake.…
