Yes DU trends to an older audience. [View all]

I am gen x.

This website has been around since 2001.

That is 22 years ago. Someone 70, was approx 50 years old when they joined. Some one like me was in our 30’s.

Many have fought against Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Trump and a slew of social and matters for survival.. climate over the many years of their lives.

To accuse these older members of not caring or selfish is akin to me, in this political atmosphere we find ourselves in today…. You know a fascist movement….. to nazi germany where those who were deemed to have less value to society were to be reviled.

So, I suggest that some of these young whippersnappers take that into consideration as they work their way into taking over the world.

No older person here on DU is your enemy. They have been fighting your fight for longer than you have lived. Yes come join and let’s all have respect for one another. Screw this blatant ageism disguised as generation gap bullshit and shove it up the wazoo.
