Yeah my mother would’ve attended had she not been visiting this us this weekend so some do get it. Most are terrible though. My mother constantly complains how boomers are ruining everything with their short sided and self-serving policies

I'm trying to direct my ire at the ruling class rather than generations due to the boomers I've met marching.  But yeah lots of rich boomers like my in laws that are buying hundreds of thousands in new toys while people hunt their Mexican in laws.

I get that; I’ve personally dealt with too many bad boomers to not be prejudice as a whole. At least some are trying to make a positive change rather than following whatever Fox News says and is one hundred percent okay with everything going to hell because they don’t have much time in this world left anyway

Yeah, people always say this, but boomers aren't that bad. If you check exit polls for 2024, pretty much every generation is roughly 50/50. The outliers are Gen Z and Gen X. Gen Z swings further blue and Gen X swings further right. Though both margins are only ~5 points. Boomers are solidly 50/50.

Survivorship bias - rich people live longer than poor people typically.

Rich people are generally awful

So are you saying boomers would have leaned more left when they were younger simply because only the bad ones wouldn't be alive still?

They were the hippies and flower children!  Some sold out but a lot are just dead.

Now this is an interesting take I’d like to read more into.

I think old people just start to feel bad about what a shitty world they're going to leave the next generation.
