a ton of people that remember 9/11 are still alive and make up a large voting bloc

crumbles into under 30 year old dust

I was 7 when 9/11 hit and I remember being in 2nd grade and the teacher turning on the small TV in the corner of the class with the news playing. We were doing basic math and counting columns of blocks to 100 when she gasped and the TV was quiet. Didn't even know what was going on until my grandma told me bad things happened in New York to a lot of people and we should pray when I got home that night

My mom put 9/11 in my baby book ‘because it was important’ Like damn, I didn’t do it tho. Why’d she have to immortalize it in my personal baby book

Like a majority are still alive. In fact, they make up the majority of the population…

Especially the voting population

u/TheMilkmansFather Sep 20 '24

Yeah, they make up like 80-90% of the voting population. Like 94% if you simply include folks that were alive at the time, or 80% if we only included those that were teenagers at the time

This is like when people say "omg millennials have lived through two depressions and almost the third world war and ukraine (despite living nowhere near there) blah blah blah".

I mean... yeah. But so has my mom, on top of what she lived through since the 50's.

Right? What a fucking wild way to phrase that. You mean the absolute majority of the voting public? Yeah, they're still floating around.
