đď¸ âBrothers and sisters, lend me your earsâand maybe your retirement plans!
Because I come today to speak not of saints, but of a generation so spoiled, they turned the American Dream into a anti-legal pleb fight!
Yes Lawd, Iâm talkinâ âbout the Boomers! The Cadillac-riding, pension-collecting, house-flipping saints of suburbia who were handed post-war prosperity on a silver platter and then said:
â¨âThis whole system is MINE now⌠and so is the Constitution!ââ¨
Oh yesâthey marched for peace in the â60s, but now they lawyer up like mob bosses from the 70s! You give âem the rule of law, and they say: âTHIS IS MY law!â
They took the torch of liberty, dipped it in Golden ego, and lit the fuse on a legal civil war, boom boom! Can I get a witness protection program?!
So now, we the grandchildren of Woodstock and Watergate, gotta untangle the legal mess Grandma and Grandpa are leaving behind!
Let us examine the sacred timeline⌠the holy descent into madness⌠the lawfare legacy that was boomer-built and bulletproofed with self! v Letâs scroll the scroll of subpoenas and sanctimony!
đď¸ History of Lawfare & the Boomer Generation
đš 1946â1964: Birth of the Boomers
Raised during Americaâs postwar legal golden age.
Taught that government, law, and democracy were sacred â until Vietnam and Watergate shook that faith.
đľď¸ 1970s â Watergate (Boomers Come of Age)
Boomers were young idealists during Watergate.
They saw bipartisan accountability in action:
Republican leaders told Nixon to resign.
The system worked. The law wasn't weaponizedâit was respected.
Lawfare didnât exist yet â justice was seen as neutral.
Many Boomers entered politics or journalism inspired by this era.
đź 1980s â Reagan Era: Boomer Rise to Power
Boomers begin filling leadership ranks.
Law becomes a strategic tool, especially in media spin and regulatory battles.
Early uses of ethics investigations and special prosecutors begin to resemble lawfare-lite.
âď¸ 1990s â Clinton Impeachment
Boomers are now the ruling generation.
Partisan use of lawsuits and scandals to destroy opponents begins:
Paula Jones lawsuit â Monica Lewinsky â impeachment.
Civil litigation and political prosecution merge.
The public starts picking sides in legal matters.
Lawfare begins in earnest.
đş 2000s â Bush v. Gore / Post-9/11
The Supreme Court decides a presidential election (2000).
Boomers increasingly see courts as political weapons.
Partisan legal strategies increaseâethics complaints, congressional subpoenas, war crime allegations, etc.
Trust in institutions begins to decline.
𧨠2010s â Political Prosecutions Everywhere
Obama era: Tea Party vs. IRS. Benghazi. Clinton emails.
Trump era: Mueller investigation. Two impeachments.
Boomers now fully entrenched in power.
Legal systems used for political theater, not justice.
Lawfare becomes routine strategy in campaigns and media narratives.
âď¸ 2020s â Full-Blown Lawfare Culture
Boomers still dominate leadership, using the law as a political sword:
Trump indicted multiple times.
Biden family under legal scrutiny.
Partisan AGs, DAâs, and state legislatures waging legal battles.
âLock him up!â replaces âElect me!â
Lawfare is now expectedâand deeply partisan.
The public is split not by truth, but by team loyalty.
đ How Itâs Different from the Watergate Era
Then (1970s) Now (2020s)
Bipartisan accountability VS Partisan retaliation
Trust in legal institutions VS Skepticism of outcomes
Media respected process VS Media weaponizes narratives Leaders
Accepted legal consequences VS Leaders cry witch hunt or fake news
Law as a last resort VS Law a Campaign strategy
đ§ Summary:
Boomers started out watching Watergate with awe⌠and ended up turning justice into political theater.
What began as a generation raised on legal ideals has, in many ways, used its power to turn the justice system into a partisan battleground.
đ Now hear me, oh Children of the National Debt and 14 streaming passwords!
The Boomers had the chance to build a country, but too many chose to build Millions of individual emperors who were each ready to strike blame, lawsuits, and gotcha politics on anyone who questions their individual whims!
They said, âWe won the Cold War!â but forgot to cool down the democracy!
They said, âWe love the Constitution!â but treated it like an cheaters guide to golf!
And now? The kids are left trying to sweep up the subpoenas, unplug the outrage machine, and put some justice back in the Justice System!
So I say this:
â The Boomers may have built the Lawfare TowerâŚ
đ ď¸ But itâs up to US to tear down the partisan scaffolding, brick by brick!
Let us rise up, not in rage, but in righteousness! Let us stop using the courtroom as a coliseum! Let us remind this spoiled generation that:
â¨The law ainât your toy, your therapist, or your Twitter takedown weaponâit belongs to the PEOPLE!â¨
Say it with me now, saints: âNo more political indictments to make your Boomerself look competent !â
đ And may the Lord put a gag order on every boomer still tryinâ to live through Watergate reruns!
AMEN. And good luck, to us all!
