Maybe I'm dumb for not lumping an entire generation of people into this huge group of bad actors who intentionally and maliciously hurt all subsequent generations.

The issue is money. What part of "people don't have money" is so hard to digest?

The disparity has become much much wider over the years, and that is the issue.

Here's a map of the 1980 presidential election.

Lest you think that a one-off, here's 1984.

Boomers loved that withered, hateful, hollowed out motherfucker.

(Yeah that's the electoral college and the popular vote was a lot closer, but that's a level of support no President has had since in even one election let alone two.)
