Summary
Two weeks ago, Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary. The night he conceded, Marjorie Taylor Greene posted that the Republican Party was "destroyed" and prayed for the “these creatures” — i.e. the boomers and her own party's voters — to be gone so the country could be "saved" by the young. A few weeks ago, Tucker Carlson called the boomers "the most loathsome, mediocre generation this country has ever produced."
