There’s a lot of ghoulish boomer leaders of state.

There’s the sun downing sexpest Biden, the patron saint of boatdealers Donald, Grandpa known as the butcher of some concentration camp Netenyahu, weird religious cult freak Modi, old uncle who thinks he’s got the virility and strength of a 20 year old Putin.

Then there’s fucking Erdogan. Grandfather who gave your entire family generational trauma and genuinely thinks you all owe him for it, all whilst he holds a veneer of respectability within his community. If you’ve ever had chud family, been in Latin/Arab household, or had military family members you’d probably recognize a douche like Erdogan from a mile away.

These are the absolute worst of the boomers. This subspecies has evolved to master the cockroach’s heightened powers of self preservation. It is likely Recep Dickhead was taught about how to walk the tightrope that is neoliberalism by his daddy Generalisimo Franco. He expertly weaves his way through awful positions in political conflicts, genocides after genocides, without so much as having his life threatened.

Your typical fascist comes and goes, but Boomer royalty such as Erdogan remain forever.
