Those are mighty broad strokes you're painting with!

...."they're racist old selfish, hateful fuckers who are full of a lifetime of fail and need to scapegoat the young and/or the brown".

Would you like to re-write that, adding some qualifiers, so that you're not totally denigrating an entire generation of people, or are you satisfied that you're correct about everyone over 60 years old?

I'll refrain from casting aspersions on young people, although they're extremely easy targets.
