This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.

Yeah, see those elderly lady's aren't old enough to remember back when America was great, they are far to young. Another ten years and they'll be auto selected for the Senate

It's funny because the zipties literally won't stop them.

But unfortunately it takes more than one braincell to understand that.

But they are very uncomfortable, which I can only imagine is the point.

We are the baddies, and it's long past the time when that was even in question.

They were being treated equally as per the law, I see this as very progressive as they are not assuming any bias or pre conceptions related to age, mobility or even letting their own emotions dictate their behavior towards people.

Fascinating

Calm down Elon.

Odds they voted for trump?

I know it's really easy to assume boomer === bad.

But to call them all Trump supporters is inaccurate.

If you said "All white people are Trump supporters", that's slightly more correct than old.

It’s not a boomer = bad comment, it’s a suggestion that the elderly age group tends to vote republican, as proven by the chart you supplied, they’re in red state, and republicans tend to vote for leopards to eat their faces.

Not sure what you’re trying to say with that chart. 65+ were more likely to vote trump, but it doesn’t break down the difference between men and women in that age group.
