    Generations and age have nothing to do with it.

    On and individually level, sure…

    But boomers have been the largest voting demographic that whole time, as a demographic they have been voting for this.

    It is that generations fault.

    If you think that means “it’s everyone in that generation’s fault” then you just don’t understand what people are saying and responding belligerently.

    And are creating the problem you’re complaining about, distracting from the real issues.

    • The thing is, the percentage of boomers who voted Republican is only d slightly higher than the percentage who voted Democrat. And the percentage of younger voters who voted Democrat is only slightly higher than those who voted Republican. This narrative that boomers are all a bunch of right wing conservatives is bullshit.

        • A lot of people think that because of posts like this, but it’s not true. Here’s the results of an exit poll from the 2024 election, posted by the BBC:

          65+ (boomers) were basically tied. 30-44 were one percent more for Harris.
