    European here so maybe I’m confused, isn’t avocado toast the emblem of the snob left winger that trumpists hate?

    Making them less accessible, while idiotic, seems rather coherent on their side…

      The avocado toast meme is from Boomers shitting on Millennials because Millennials are broke due to the Boomers fucking the country and they had to come up with some stupid thing the Millennials must be spending all their money on. It’s not political in origin.

      Can’t possibly have anything to do with the decades of union-busting, corporate deregulation, etc. no, it’s the avocado toast.

        Actually it was a millennial couple buying homes with their parents money saying it about other millennials, but it represented the boomer mindset to a tee and represented that privileged out of touch understanding of the world.
