Every thread where boomers get mentioned, there’s so much hate, and a lot of questionable information. I don’t think this community would stand for it if people said “I can’t wait until they’re all dead” about any other group, but I see it regularly about boomers.
Here’s a Pew research chart on the 2020 election demographics by age. Yes, it does show that there are more older Trump voters than older Biden voters, but bit look at the magnitude of the differences - it’s very small. Also notice that the difference between the number of younger Trump voters and younger Biden voters isn’t that great either.
People think all the older people are wearing MAGA hats and all the younger people are wearing pride shirts, but the reality is the amount that the age groups skew one way or the other isn’t that huge. There are tons of liberal older people (like me) and lots of conservative younger people.
I’m not seeing the disconnect. Your said an awful lot of boomers are GOP voters. I said that it’s more than half, but not a lot more, and the percentage of younger GOP voters wasn’t a lot less than half. What did I miss?
If you want to adopt the boomer tag and be offended go right ahead, but the point is, the boomer generation had the leg up on voting during their prime years and they chose to elect pieces of shit that slowed world’s progress and harmed millions of innocent people. Sure there were boomers who didn’t but I’m not talking about them.
For every hippy progressive, there were at least 5 Leave it to Beavers ready to take up the conservative mantle. Sure, not every Boomer supported the GOP, but a ton definitely did.
Not every boomer supported the GOP or Reagan.
An awful lot of them did, though.

None of what you said pertains to my comment. Did you respond to me by accident?

Was I wrong?
