The radicals of the 60's became tenured professors in the 80's and began teaching identity politics, the grandfather of the current woke hysteria. There is actually a lot of truth there.
Most of the radicals of the 60’s were college students who were being influenced by their leftist professors. Sounds exactly like what’s happening today doesn’t it?

Everything you wrote after "Naw" contradicted your "Naw."

Some members of every generation can share some blame. I personally blame schools, bankers and their government bootlickers for indebting students and artificially raising the price of housing (bad loans, inefficient foreclosure proceedings) while allowing foreign buyers to further drive up prices with their slave labor money. That said a lot of boomers were hands off, selfish parents who let the tv raise the one or two kids that they deigned to contribute to the gene pool (idiocracy math).

I believe you said the Boomers sold America out to China, the sellout began long before Boomers were influential in DC politics. Nixon started the process, he wasn’t a Boomer. I couldn’t give you specific policies of the Carter and Reagan era with regards to China but I’m sure there was some trade dealings going on with China back then, Carter and Reagan weren’t Boomers either. Now if you want to say the Boomers are responsible for opening the floodgates of selling out America to China with the Clinton, Bush and Obama Administrations I could agree with that.
So to summarize we had politicians who were born in the early 1900’s through the 1950’s who played a part in the off shoring of America’s manufacturing/industrial base to China.
Guess what? A lot of the politicians who helped sell America out to China are still in the Swamp both R’s and Dims.

Things like abortion, pornography, no prayer in schools, mass divorces and broken homes all came about while boomers still controlled the levers of power.
All this BS ^^^^ was happening legislatively before Boomers we’re really much of a force in high stakes DC politics. Prayer was taken out of schools in the 60’s and abortion was made legal in the early 70’s. Boomers were not really making much noise in Congress until the late 70’s early 80’s

I resemble that remark!
I was a leftist when I was young and very serious about it, until I read a great deal of the history of the rise of Communism from all perspectives and that opened my eyes.
Marxism is a cult. Nothing else could fail so miserably, so often and with so much blood on their hands and still be adopted as a model but through cult-like adherence.

There is a vast difference between people who were in high school/college in the late 60's (the Clintons age) and people my age who graduated in the late 70's/early 80's (my age).
People my age were the last ones in the 18-24 age group (or close to that) who voted Republican, in 1984, and it wasn't close, 61-39, only beat by the oldsters and tied by the group just below them, so it wasn't just a matter of it being Reagan.
1984 demographics

I believe not bothering to know how to spell it shows the proper level of contempt.
That might take 15 seconds of my life, not worth it.
just picking at you, this intergenerational shite is a waste of time, the only two groups that matter are leftists and normal people, does not matter how old they are

America's great hope is when Boomers die off or have no influence because of some physiological maladies.
Generation totally sucks beyond recognition

The demise started with the start of the Dept of Education which did not exist when I was in high school in the 70s Since then, the public school system has gone to crap. Yes, you think your kids are in a good school district. There’s no such thing as a good government school. PERIOD.

You sound like you're projecting when you say "retard." It's not my issue if you're that insecure about your poor spelling.
By the way, you don't need an extra space between the last character and the punctuation mark.
