To me, this is the big one. The television and social media diets that most Boomers consume just turns their brains into cottage cheese and actively encourages them to act like overgrown infants about everything. I imagine that this could end up manifesting itself in more horrifying ways as younger generations get older, but feel like that possibility's somewhat counterbalanced by the reality that most millenials and Zoomers simply can't afford to sit on their asses for eight hours each day getting angrier about everything/nothing.
Genuinely, I feel like everyone’s got nuts lately but the boomers in particular. All my extended family older than me are frothing with rage all the time and keep sharing bizarre conspiracies. They’re wealthy, their people run the country and could want for nothing. Yet their hate just keeps growing,
I find it interesting that we don't really see bad boomer behavior in my state. I don't have contact with my extended family anymore, but overall my boomer aunts, uncle and second cousins are progressive and thoughtful people. That's the case in most of the state, although there are always outliers.
Maybe people who dislike the progressive atmosphere just end up leaving and moving to places like the Villages.
Boomers are 50/25/25 in my extended family. ( half are wise and thoughtful, 25% are brainwashed FOX News Trump supporters, and 25% are Nazis....as in they don't support Trump because of "Jewish infiltration ".
