Honestly, I see more ignorant Gen Xers (including my own parents and relatives) who are more ignorant and gullible than Boomers more often than not. They are also the age demographic that voted the most for Trump.
You worded that very well. I don’t like people calling out generations like this but struggle on making a well formed reply.
Also it’s odd that they lack the understanding that one day their generation will be the old one and they will be subject to blame. Unless people just stop doing it!
I bet you wouldn’t make such a sweeping statement about a racial minority. The percentage of boomers (like me) who vote for progressive policies is pretty large, though not a majority. It’s not that dissimilar from GenX and millennials.
I bet I would, but I also bet it’s not all boomers making those statements (older than early 70s are Silents, younger than mid 50s are GenX). I also don’t believe that it’s okay to engage in sweeping stereotypes just because other people engage in sweeping stereotypes.
Stop it about boomers.
Some boomers, yes, but also some GenX and millenials.
In fact, the last election was heavily influenced by millenials shifting to the right.
But of course, not every milenial
Dividing based on age is part of the political agenda.
I don’t think you want to solve the issue. At first blush it seems to me you have an alt account arguing the opposite.
That’s the only reason I can think for someone starting a post with “boomers”.
Thank you - beat me to saying this. (And Gen Z too)

Boomer already exceeded its age group, the boomers are everywhere now.

A story as old as time.
For many adults, children are at the same time “smarter than their parents” and also “more disrespectful than their parents at their age”.
And children think that the old people “left them without opportunities”
They’ve been saying that before biblical times.
The funny thing is that I’ve observed that children who blame adults become the adults who blame children.
The well adjusted children become well adjusted adults who don’t blame others.
white boomers wanted these policies
Do you mean the people profiting are white boomers? Many are generation X. Some are millennials.
I bet you wouldn’t make such a sweeping statement about a racial minority. The percentage of boomers (like me) who vote for progressive policies is pretty large, though not a majority. It’s not that dissimilar from GenX and millennials.
Was I sweeping? I was saying the small number of people profiting were of several classes
Actually I was asking if that’s what they were trying to say
I bet you wouldn’t believe the amount of sweeping statements made to my face about racial minorities by white boomers

sounds like boomer talk
