My work over the years has made me popular among many of the locals in and around my county. It's hard to go to the store even an hour away in the city without a dozen stop-and-chats. This is especially true with the 50+ year olds.
They love talking politics and about the vaccine and about whatever shit that we all know has been happening for years (but they just found out about). Trans kids, antifa, general liberal bullshit, and sometimes even some degree of the JQ.
"Ruck, did you see xyz?" I reply with a very serious "at least we're not speaking German." Usually it's the last thing I say before "goodbye" and heading on my way.
We all say this, I know. But, this isn't something boomers have ever thought about. It fucks them up. Usually the next time I see the person, they want to talk about that very line. We take it for granted. Try it out, but do it right.
