A Republican congressman took aim at ‘millennial leftists’ over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and this is the only comeback you need

Over on Twitter Republican congressman Clay Higgins – no, us neither – took aim at ‘millennial leftists’ for what’s going on in eastern Europe right now. At least, we think that’s what he was doing.

Have a read for yourself.

You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky.
You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets.

And it prompted no end of totally on-point replies as you might imagine.

I’m a boomer and are you implying that it was great times to live under nuclear threat and we should have done what we could to keep it going for the next generation? Not that it has ever gone away-our kids have to hide under desks from active shooters. Thanks Republicans!🖕

Everyone born since roughly 29 August 1949 has lived their entire lives under nuclear threat, Congressman. That includes millennial leftists like me (born 1985, i.e., still during the Cold War). What on earth do you think you’re talking about?

The oldest of the Millennial generation was born during Reagan’s first term. Maybe you’re referring to Generation Z, who grew up in the aftermath of 9/11? Do you even understand how history works?

It sounds like he ate the magnets.

But surely none did it better than the dictionary itself, @Dictionarycom.

To conclude …

As a Gen X lefty who lives the first 15 years of my life under the threat of nuclear war, sir… pic.twitter.com/t46LireNDI
