Is loud and expects everyone to laugh at his jokes even though they were outdated in the 80s

Obsessed with recapturing his glory days.

His kids hate him and used to tolerate him because he had money, but now their relationships are increasingly strained as he keeps pissing his money away on crypto scams.

Totally not obsessed with the other superpower who married his ex-wife and their more stable relationship.

Disclaimer: this is a joke, there is nothing actually wrong with being old and divorced. There is something wrong with the US though.

    Now it makes sense why my-hero has actual power there.

    This also tracks with it being ”boomer humor”, the oldest boomers grew up during the absolute height of the US' power, and therefore they'll still insist on ”wife bad 🤣” being the height of comedy.

      WW2 is to the US what four touchdowns in one game were to Al Bundy. I know Al wasn't divorced, but anyway.

    Funny enough, just yesterday a woman I know filed divorce papers. The guy was this very comfortable uber landlord. But his personality was so barely tolerable, absolutely hated women and complained about them every chance he could. And every other convo was complaining about vaccines or woke or LGBT people or whatever.

    Honestly if they guy could just bottle his hate, he'd be so much happier. Maybe just journal his bullshit, pay a right-wing therapist, or have a friend group were he vented his fuckery. But nah, he's gotta be full on asshole every waking minute with people who constantly vocalise how much they DON'T want to hear his chuddery. He's gonna die rich, alone, and miserable.
