CUPP: We're all well aware of the political divide in America that threatens to ruin our Thanksgiving holidays. But what about the generational divide? You probably heard the meme sweeping the nation. No? OK boomer. No, that's the meme. OK boomer is used mainly by Gen Xers and millennials to laugh off or dismissed the advice of the boomer generation when they say things like, "You should be saving up for a house," or, "The war on drugs worked." OK boomer. Well, it is everywhere now. A young New Zealand Member of Parliament used it against an older heckler during a conversation on climate change. Fox is attempting to trademark the phrase for a new television show. No surprise boomers don't generally like it and AARP representative clap back at the taunt in an interview saying, "OK millennials, but we're the people that actually have the money. And now workplaces are threatening to ban the same because it violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, apparently. But the meme is also highlighting a very real increasing divide between the generations in our politics, in our news consumption, social causes and community, drugs, war, marriage, the environment. Maybe this Thanksgiving instead of talking about Trump and impeachment, we should try talking to our youngers and our elders about these other differences in our world views. OK boomer may be a meme, but it's also a meaningful discussion point. OK. That's it for me. But one more reminder that Sunday night is a big night here at CNN. Anderson Cooper will take a closer look at the key impeachment testimony in a special hour, "The Impeachment Inquiry in the Words of the Witnesses." It airs tomorrow night at 8. Next is "THE VAN JONES SHOW."
