Even that is a way over-applied stereotype. If you look at the results of the last few elections by age demographics, you’ll see that the difference between the percentage of boomers who voted conservative vs liberal is pretty small. Likewise the difference between the younger generations that voted liberal vs conservative. In fact, if I recall right, the percentage of the youngest voters who voted conservative actually grew between the last couple elections.
I’m a boomer, and the OP fits me. I’ve consistently voted more and more progressive as the conservatives have been more and more destructive. I go to protests, and I loudly advocate for progressive causes. The vast majority of my friends are the same way. We may not be the majority of our age group, but we’re a very large minority.
