The senior vote has practically enabled fascism

This is just false. The 50-64 year old vote was far more pro Trump than the 65+ cohort. Older age does not mean more pro trump overall.

There's honestly too much else going on with your arguments for me to sit here and pick it apart, but it essentially boils down to (1) it is not every old person's fault that things are the way they are (spoiler: the rich and powerful are to blame) and (2) the stripping of rights you describe would disproportionately impact marginalized or poor groups of people. I highly recommend this podcast episode. Pretty much everything else I would say is in it:

    Cheers for linking resources, I really appreciate when people take the time to do that. I don't inherently disagree with you but also my comment is very incomplete. I wanted to share my controversial opinion, not defend it dammit! Hahah
