Boomers have supported, and voted for the status quo and these billionaires for decades upon decades at this point. And are still supporting the dictator Trump.
So yeah your take is bullshit.
George Carlin had it right, sorry not sorry.
90% of my millennial friends have been voting for the status quo for decades too. We’ll see how progressive they are once they’re the most conservative ones in the room, and they aren’t oh so painfully forced to vote for the status quo.
This oversimplified dichotomy is asinine. No group of people are some monolithic Borg mind. These types of tribalism are toxic useless. Russians would call it convenient idiots. It is tribalistic dogma revealing poor fundamental logic skills typical for a culture derived from the inbred Puritan penal colony European rejects.
It’s because America uses “first past the post” voting. Look it up. If you immediately realize that no honest intelligent person would support that, you’d be right.

Ah yes the popular myth of becoming more conservative as you get older. It used to be true because you would get a job, have a family, and retire. Suddenly your biggest concern became lower taxes so you could spend that money elsewhere. Rest of the country be damned.
Except now significantly less people are doing those things because they have a lot less money than their parents did.
All growing old has done is made me way more left. I can see and understand so much more about how the world is fucked up.
Younger generations aren’t much better. Look at the age distribution of Trump voters: https://navigatorresearch.org/2024-post-election-survey-gender-and-age-analysis-of-2024-election-results/ (IDK if this is a good source, feel free to provide one that contradicts it if you find one. But it’s consistent with pretty much every poll I’ve seen on this topic, even in other western countries). The gender split is a lot more pronounced than any generational split.
It’s that Boomers have participated in, and been behind the wheel, of most of the stupid, enabling moments of the 20th century. They built this world and got pissed when inequality they built to lock up money for themselves wasn’t sustainable.
Then they blame everyone else because they have no self-reflection due to lead levels in their blood causing cognitive impairment and aggressive behavior. My favorite was a meme all over facebook saying “Back in my day we didn’t have plastic soda bottles…” Yeah, who TF changed it, genius? YOU ALL. Sure wasn’t me running all that stuff when I was 6 years old.
Again, you are conflating age for wealth. Lots of boomers did no such thing, and were as poor and powerless as you are. The powers that be got you good with the generational strife propaganda, so you don’t focus on the actual class war problem.
Most of Boomers did said such thing. How tf you think Trump got in power, magic? You ever check out what Facebook looks like? You are confused as the people you are screeching about.

Yeah we didn’t go to the trophy companies at 6 years old and demand they start making participation trophies, Deborah. Our generation didn’t start that shit.
IMO, there are political parties that aren’t perfect and political parties that are speedrunning complete annihilation of the biosphere and human rights.
Yeah, well those same parents are also partially responsible for making that future come to be.
It’s not boomers vs. millenials, it’s billionaires vs. commoners/workers/have-nots. Don’t let them divide-and-conquer you.

Me too. I’m saying that they’re currently being dishonest about supporting progressive values, not that they’ll change.

Trump isn’t just popular with boomers. Plenty of younger people are MAGAs, or just don’t vote.
Yeah we didn’t go to the trophy companies at 6 years old and demand they start making participation trophies, Deborah. Our generation didn’t start that shit.
But it’s also the Boomers. Although they are slowly dying out.
It’s also all the other generations who are also MAGA or just don’t vote.
My friend, there is no political side on earth that isn’t guilty when it comes to the sad state the globe is in.
And very few individuals that haven’t indulged in the sin of convenience that keeps the spiral going downward.
