But also, yea let’s not forget it really came down to who voted for Reagan. I’m a little tired of the boomer hate because it overlooks some of the okay boomers, and yes, equates “old” with “selfish asshole”.
Hot take, old is already equated with asshole. The current ruling class in the United states is predominantly ancient and white. The gerontocracy is the reason we are in this shitstorm. People have already been hating white people for decades, and ageism has been around since at least I was a kid.
Or forgotten generation.

My mom is an ‘okay’ boomer. My point stands.
It’s not the age, it’s the class.
The wealthy, both young and old, are the ones giving over the rest of us.
Generational division is just a distraction from the real culprits
The current ancient ruling class you’re talking about are literally boomers.
