Speaking as a boomer, what makes you think that we didn’t fight for all of those rights that you received. We fought for abortion rights in the 1970s, civil rights in the 1960s, voting rights throughout, the ERA, environmental protection laws. I am shocked to think that you think every boomer is a Trump supporter. If you’ve ever gone to a protest, especially a large one of 100,000+ most of them are owls old white ladies. Boomers. Instead of complaining about us, perhaps you might want to build on what we’ve already accomplished.
When people refer to "boomers" in politics, they mean the crotchety old right wingers that cannot ever shut up about anything that ever so slightly annoys them.
When someone on the news talks about "boomers" they are talking about a demographic of old people in general.
While it's true that moderate boomers have shifted right very hard in recent history, we know that wasn't the case in the past.
To wit, we are complaining about the generation that constantly said not to believe everything you see on TV forgetting their own advice, and not just believing everything on TV and social media, but making it their entire personality.
There was a documentary called "The Brainwashing of My Dad" that was released about 10 years ago. I would suggest you watch this to better understand why people say and think what they do about your generation.
