"Boomers" tried to scrape together a life and provide for a family within the rules of the world where they lived. They elected people to solve the problems that they knew about at the time, just like every other generation.
I'd say #notallboomers but it's implied unless you're being willfully obtuse.
They also essentially created the welfare state…
They were and are pretty bad on effective drug policy.
LGB discourse went off the rails when progressives added all the other letters. To be fair, it’s not just boomers who are deeply concerned with the political religion of queerness.
Nah the Silent Generation did that.
But also most of our political gerontocrats are also either Silents or very early Boomers. They're not really the core of the Baby Boom generation.
Also, your understanding of the origin of the welfare state is way off the mark. Sometimes, the best thing a person can do is spend a little time studying basic history.
