Yep. The boomers are a trash generation. They destroyed the system that built them up, and they’re throwing the second biggest tantrum in American history on the way out.
Eh, it's easy to make such generalizations, but I think it's a lot harder to consider that what we see of that generation are either the ones who were sociopathic enough to rise to the top or the ones who survived what in many cases amounted to mandatory conscription for wars most didn't want to be in and a slow descent into larger quantities of corporate-backed state propaganda. To be a boomer who understood the mental trap the state locked you into is to be depressingly isolated to the point of substance use or self-harm.
They elected Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump. They are the vast majority of Fox News viewers. They held onto power in the Senate and House for way longer than is reasonable, and destroyed the progressive tax system. They went from breaking up AT&T to cheering on the biggest mergers in history. Yes, a lot of them are good and relatively progressive (compared to previous generations), but way too many of them suck.
