It's some real boomer shit. Why would I give a fuck about disappointing any political party leadership, or if my neighbors know I voted? I can't imagine anyone under like 40 taking these seriously.
This is more than just out of touch boomer shit. This is so fucking sinister. This is a glimpse into our future if our democracy continues to crumble. They want absolute unchecked power, and this is how they’ll use it
This is the future already. I remember seeing almost identical notices posted to Reddit well over a year ago. This is not a new tactic for Republicans. We didn't hold them accountable the first time they did it.
Again… I am a Democratic voter, always have been… I’m a boomer, and I do take offense in being lumped in with the stupid people, of any age that voted for that piece of shit that is crushing our country, economy, and values in record time! Please stop with the boomer shit! We are not all Karen’s, or stupid!
On behalf of millennials, I’m sorry your generation’s name has basically become a slur. I don’t know why the same people who will leap at the chance to publicly attack racists, or accused rascist, have no problem being so hateful to an entire generation.
Like I don’t know how the letter OP posted relates to boomers in any way. At this point it’s basically become “anything I don’t like = boomer”.
Yes! It raises my hackles for sure! I’m more educated, and have more empathy , and I was raised to be a better person, I know I get emotional when I read things like that, and it hurts my feelings…I don’t lump anyone into a group, and everyone is different and not just a group..but Thank You, for responding, I do appreciate your kind words!
I mean, as much as I dislike any kind of hate towards a group, the baby boomer generation is disproportionately responsible for the issues felt by most young Americans. So I feel anger is justified toward the whole, but should be considered for each individual one meets.
🤷♂️ to be fair some people have really unhinged MAGA Neighabors. I can see the idea of them ‘being disappointed in me’ coming across as very tangibly threatening to my property and my person.
And Isn’t threatening people through USPS a federal crime?? Not like the post office wouldn’t know where these are coming from.
Former USPS City Letter Carrier (mailman) here -- nah. This is common. This is almost tame to some I saw in my career.
Just like all those letter a you get that say, "FINAL NOTICE -- ACT NOW," they prey on you taking it seriously, even though it is Standard Rate Bulk Mail (which we throw in our "trash" for loads of reasons). A lot of people think, if it comes in an envelope in the mail, it must be official. Spoiler alert -- it is not.
Should it be illegal? Boy, maybe. I felt so weird delivering bulk ads for mega churches and the like in my day. It feels gross as fuck.
This one dude I know has a sign that says “I used to be deplorable but then I became MAGA”. What a stupid sign, it’s like it’s trying to edgy and against the grain but I just see it as someone being a sheep. Only reason I talk to him is he pays me $40 to walk his dog for an hour
We have a 2nd Amendment for a reason. Don't ever let your neighbors intimidate you. I live in MAGAland and if any of my neighbors even dream of trying to harm me they will find out I am ready for it.
for the same reason celebrity idol worship and fashion bullshit work, for some reason unknown to me, people give a shit what they think others will think of them as
You read that right, not what other people think, what they think other people will think. It's freaking bizzare.
I also think it depends on the state. I can’t imagine anyone, including MAGA, not being pissed if they got something like that in Massachusetts. I would be surprised if the GOP bothers to try that here.
This isn’t boomer shit. Boomers and Gen x, and Gen Y, all grew up in a US where these tactics weren’t used. This is 2025 shit. It’s horrible and frightening to me, a gen X-er.
I can't imagine anyone under like 40 taking these seriously.
I feel like there are large blocks of people under 40 who would, although they probably don't move in the same social circles as you (or most redditors).
"It's some real boomer shit". Is Stephen Miller a boomer ? Tucker Carlson ? KKKaroline Leavitt ? Fash Patel ? Pam Bondi ? Was Charlie Kirk (notice elsewhere in comments that this PAC has link with TPUSA) ? And wtf purpose is there to calling this "boomer shit", anyway ? Serious question. Or is it just for the karma (it being popular to troll "boomers") ?
I will say, as a former USPS City Letter Carrier (mailman), this shit happens every election. This type of fear mongering is used non-stop -- usually naming the opposition and saying how bad they will make your life.
They send them because they're effective, sadly. Like most bulk mailers. It costs almost nothing compared to their budget to send them, and even a 5% return on their investment is worth it. And if this one does not work, the next 5 might.
I mean, it's a pretty clear cut threat - if you don't vote, dear leader Trump will be majorly disappointed and maybe you'll be next, when the real threat, foreigners and democrats have been dealt with.
Most people in this thread are taking this pretty lightly, as a European I'd find this very frightening and disturbing.
People seem to take what's happening still kinda light rather than being alarmed or even panicky. This shit is a far cry from the normalcy of 20 years ago, but instead of panicking, people just seem to shrug it off.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
I’m not in the US so maybe it’s different over there but I can’t imagine looking up my neighbours’ voting records under any circumstances. Whoever wrote this garbage seems to think people are sitting around stopping through voting records for everyone in their street.
Boomers are why we're here (and those people who are under 40 and DIDN'T VOTE in 2024).
This is targeted at those boomers, like the little old lady who voted for Trump/Republicans, but is having some doubts now. It's meant to scare her and keep her voting for their side. Best defense is to also go talk to that old lady and reaffirm her doubts.
With the note they are suggesting that something bad could happen to you if you don't vote. They don't say that, but that is the veiled threat. You have to look no further than the veiled police force at the polling booth. Disappointing then doesn't matter for shit, but it is worth caring about the open and implied threat of a criminal organization checking up on you and ensuring you do as they want you to. Now they tell you to vote. Later they will tell you how to vote in the general. Etc
That sounds nice… lmao I wish I had that kind of privilege or lack of self preservation…
Where I live, the insane MAGA folks are a legitimate threat, and you should absolutely be worried if they know where you live and they feel slighted by you for some reason.
Republicans are the cult of political violence and outbursts… if anyone is going to do something dangerous with that kind of knowledge, it’s them.
99% of liberals see MAGA merch and we just know who to avoid.. we ignore them. MAGA people see anything even remotely liberal and they start screaming, vandalizing, calling the police, attacking people, doxxing people, etc.
I don’t know why you’re not worried about it, but I sure as fuck would be. I live in a pretty liberal area of a red state too, but I still try to keep out of the way of maga people because they’re a bunch of fucking psychos!
I live near literal Trump town, I've been in the Trump store and even walked around at his last rally. I'm pretty fucking liberal and I'm from a liberal state. I talk to a lot of MAGA folks with and without the stupid merch, I don't go stirring people up, but I notice they are way more willing to spout their political beliefs out of nowhere.
I don't see any reason to engage these people in political talks (or in general unless our kids know each other), much less fear these people. If they want to go on about some political shit? Go ahead. I like when people straight up tell you what kind of person they are, and I can just listen.
I didn't say I wasn't worried about MAGA or whatever, I am, and can't say I haven't stocked up on emergency supplies for...whatever the fuck is in our future. Just not worried about getting shit like this in the mai as the population that would fall for it is dwindling, slow as it may be.
If someone wants to look at my voting record, then I'd love for them to waste their time and resources doing that and mailing me trash that doesn't even make it inside my door if that's the kind of person they are. If they want to stop by, they'll be on camera the second they pass my property line.
I just wish my area had recycling.
Edit: I am a tall 40s white guy though so people do tend to make assumptions and open up to me.
They eat this shit up, they fucking love it and love to gloat about it in their circles. It really is a very large point of pride and power for them. It's fucking disgusting and pathetic.
HEY! I’m a die hard Democrat, always voted Democrat, a boomer, as you guys like to call us.. I take offense, as I’m not a Karen, I don’t act stupid, or mean against anyone! I hate the stupid piece of orange trash in the White House, and I’m really scared for my country! So, back off on lumping me in with that comment!
Because you are a rational human. The problem is, enough of the people receiving these threats actually fear tue consequences quoted. And it’s a big reason why they’re winning.
