As an Australian looking at the US political system, it is fucked in a way that voting can never fix. It simply isn’t a democracy in anything other than name.
Over here I can vote for someone other than the two major parties and my vote will actually count for something. In the USA you’re basically throwing your vote in the bin unless you vote for horrible party A or slightly less horrible party B.
Yeah it comes down to the fact that the boomers were the largest generation for 54 years, their reign ending in 2019. So they played a large role in getting us to this fucked up place. And now Millennials are the largest generation, and we need to figure out how to unfuck it.
Greatest and silent generations laughing their asses off at the boomers taking all the heat for the state of the world. Previous generations would also be laughing if they weren’t dead.
You really need to look at the size difference between Boomers and Silent generation to understand how ridiculous that claim is. Not to mention once Boomers started feeling represented their voting participation rates shot up. They have dominated the U.S. political landscape for well over four decades.
Their comment is rightfully pointing out the lions share of responsibility Boomers have for the state of American politics.

And I’m trying to point out that generations are a spook meant to divide us instead of us focussing on the actual problem, billionaires.
No war but class war.
Tell that to the boomers. 🤷♂️

“And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

We could have turned out and stopped the boomers but we continued to let them vote us down and, eventually, rig it against us.
Hanging chads!
