Is there a recent DU census revealing posters' ages?

[Frasier Balzov]

I assume age data for users of this site would be self-reported in a poll format.

My sense is that we collectively skew toward the geriatric.

That we see ourselves as endeavoring to save the country for younger Americans as much as for ourselves.

But that we are only marginally capable of holding up protest signs, let alone taking up arms.

And that the population skewing young and fit who are already serving in or eligible for military service would be fighting for Trump-- either out of loyalty to him or respect for their chain of command notwithstanding personal opinions they happen to hold.

1. Having been here since the first as a five year old, that would make me only 29 yo. 😊😊😊

Okay, maybe a little older than that, but GERIATRIC? OH, my. You better duck!

6. Lol

I may be geriatric but I'm still capable of holding a sign.
At 72 I work four days a week, unloading trucks and breaking down pallets every shift.
I think the op should read a few history books.. We geriatric women are not helpless.

12. I'm 72 and am looking to go back to work just in case so I don't lose my home.

I did a lot of the type of work you do and I'm fortunate that I am in good shape with no health problems, have no aches and pains at all so I don't need to take any kind of painkillers.
I am shocked at the amount of money you can make per hour now compared to even 10 years ago for "unskilled" labor.

14. I would not call what I or my fellow employees

Do "unskilled ". Also it took me 20 years of hard work and improving my skills to earn my existing pay rate

2. Your sense would be correct.

5. Thank you. Just what I need to know.

There is a peace to be found in recognition.

10. Don't get too "peaceful." Online DU poll which remained 'up' only 24 hours (typically) & less than250 respond

means that is a shaky assumption. Still it is pretty clear that Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials predominate. Hardly makes the DU crowd overwhelmingly geriatric--even if older voters post more.

3. Taking up arms?

Wtf

[Xavier Breath]

9. Maybe they mean only against a sea of troubles?

13. Lol

4. I think the closer your birth was to the end of WWII, the more you recognize the coming danger.

7. Boomers are over-represented at every protest I've been to.

Then again, we got trained in civil disobedience back in high school, protesting the war in Vietnam!

8. Geriatric? Seriously? I'm tired of the labeling and bigotry here. Call you an agest bigot.

11. I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth and I still have a mouthful. n/t
