OK boomer
edit: I'm actually glad to see the downvotes on this comment because I'm sick of people using "boomer" as an insult (which is why I replied with this as a retort to the poster who did that). Thanks for those recognizing we're in a class war, not a culture war and downvoting it!
I wasn’t using boomer as an insult, I was specifically referring to the generation that is currently either retired or in the process of retiring and is most affected by SS cuts. Like it or not, that generation voted overwhelmingly for Trump, especially in Oklahoma.
Men 65+ voted for trump (55-42), women 65+ voted for Harris (53-44).
Also BTW men 18-44 voted trump (52-44) and women 18-44 voted for Harris (52-42)

Obviously in Oklahoma, trump won among both men and women. The point is you could substitute the name of any other state, red or blue, into this headline and it would still be true.
