Why Seniors Are Turning Against The GOP

12. The Times Are A-Changing

While they think seniors are too senile to understand many can out think the D.C. crowd. Every day it's another issue which would be difficult or is already so for the typical senior. Every day pensions are cut. Interest rates are in the loo making the idea of saving for a bit of change impossible. The talk about dropping the U.S. P.S must send shivers down their spine. Many do not(cannot afford) internet and do not feel comfy doing business on line. Many get meds by mail. This is a link to the world that has always been there for them. They see their kids, their grandkids struggling more every day. Many end up bunking with ma or grandma because they have little choice in between jobs or just piss poor paying jobs. Parents and grandparents also are finding things lean at the end of the month. Misery loves company but it's not the retirement they dreamed of no more than it's the life they wished for their kids or grandkids.
While we do have those still stuck in the days of the big racial divide and those lived when queer meant more than just unusual but many were closet liberals in those days. They often did not make comments because the world was so much against minorities and the gay community. Today some don't care anymore and some have actually changed their thinking. They see that racism has now turned into a different form. Many they used to vote for now are against the senior voter,the poor population--even the offspring of the seniors calling them lazy good for nothings because they can't find a job or remain under employed. That can turn many a senior into a lean mean fighting machine.
