130. Unfortunately, I agree with you 100%

I thought more women would have stood up for their reproduction rights, but I read them wrong. I wonder how they'll feel when abortion and even birth control is banned in every single state. I feel for them, but like you, I have zero fucks to give.
I'm a child of the 60’s generation. We became the protest generation when we opposed the immoral war in Vietnam, marching in the streets to make our voices heard. I don’t see that in young people today.
I also have no fucks to give because at my age, I won’t be around to see the most damaging effects of the complacency of our younger voters.
I hope they get it together, but they’ll get no help from me. It’s their country, their world, their future. I’m too old and tired to give a fuck about their future. If they don’t care enough about it to become an informed voter, then they deserve the fucked-up future that awaits them.
Sorry for the rant, but I’m tired of carrying their water.
