Only those boomers with money are looking rightward, which is the minority of boomers. For what it’s worth I think using “the internet” like it’s a real person or entity is bullshit.

Thanks for setting the record straight. Generational divides are not the real problem. Class divides are. Most boomers have been pushed down by the wealthy just like the rest of us.
