A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They are still clinging to power. Hard to stop hating them when they are still making the decisions.
Yep. They could easily retire and live a happy successful retirement, in fact they SHOULD but they are literally clinging to power until they die just to make sure the people they hate are as miserable and unsuccessful as possible.
Totally fair. I think I overshot a bit with the criticality of my comment, because it is shitty for most of us and it lacked sympathy. All I wanted to say is that we are wasting energy on hating on something we personally can't affect.
It's another thing that I saw many people from that generation craving and trying for change. Maybe that's not your experience. It can be especially hard if you have someone in the family actively believing characters like Trump, Orbán, AfD. I believe most people want what's best for them and theirs, and it's usually fear or narrow-mindedness that gets them hooked on populistic rhetoric.
I mean just look at the US politics stage. Boomers are dying out and they are surrounded by bad actors from the genX and millenial groups waiting to take over. We are losing energy on hating/blaming, all the while we are being divided into groups of age, ethnicity, religion. Who's best interest is this division?
