Stereotyping people into groups is definitely something that's been indoctrinated into most people, myself and others here included. It's an easy option to group the minority as the whole -- it's also an even easier way to divide us.
Like you said: "Quit lumping people into groups." It's something I think we all need to work on.
Think you will find he is referring to the statement about people over 40 , maybe he is right, i am 58 and have been awake to what is going on for a long time. The first gulf war for me.
Agree that it is mainly older people watching MSM though. Hard habits to break.
I am much older than you and haven't watched TV at all in years. I saw a couple in the store a few days ago piling tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste into their cart. I mentioned the crop failure in California, and they said they'd heard of it, and that's why they were stocking up. I see a lot of older people buying everything they can to stock up. One guy I talked to said he was clearing out a place to store plywood and lumber for future projects. He knows that lumber prices are now dropping.
