There are plenty of woke , socialist boomers.
And plenty of millennials who are conservatives .

I had to teach a millennial how to drive a stick so she could borrow my truck for a trip. Never again, somehow the truck lived thru it so I guess I was not that bad of a teacher. Once I realized that first gear was just to much for her I taught her how to get going in second. “Just make sure you don’t park it on a hill facing uphill.”

My generation is arrogant and ignorant. All those gold stars in elementary, AP classes in high school, and advanced degrees at university yet many can’t think for themselves or identify India on a map. And they lack any ability to do things on their own in a work environment. They want to be told exactly what to do. But don’t you dare criticize the quality of what they do. That’s sexist, homophobic, and racist. Brainless, idiotic twats.

They buy into it because they can still afford an iPhone, MacBook and drink their craft beer. Life is easy for them and nary a one lives with any of the consequences of the ideology they choose to support.

I see a surprising amount of “millennials” who drive stick.

But no wisdom.

Nor hardly any common sense either.

Born on third base. Score on a wild pitch, act like they hit a home run.

Young people today are not Millennials. Millennials were mid eighties to ~200-05.

Boomers are a huge group. My end of that group are not like the early ones. Actually we are called Jonesers and abhor what the hippie bunch did.

I am too. Ours is the most feckless incompetent generation ever created on the face of the earth. We are horrible.

the brattiness was also fostered by the exponential increase in divorce and play marriages. Both parents trying to outcompete themselves by buying things for the kids. Conversely, a mother or father more interested in their own future partner, or dating scene, than the kids, leaving the kids feeling disassociated and unconnected.

“we Baby Boomers raised a generation of selfish, entitled brats.”

The first generation of selfish entitled brats were the Baby Boomers compliments of the “greatest generation”.....apples do not fall far from the tree...

Young folks who like that idea of socialism do not realize that if it were to become the new government of the USA, they can kiss their smart phones goodbye and forget Tik Tok! These young people believe in a world that is fair and wonderful and freedom from rules and laws and corporations. Yeah...they have no idea!

I agree. The same people who rail against evil corporations do so on phones made by corporations on networks built by corporations, etc.

I was NOT raised by the Greatest Generation way too young, they were my grandparents, but I am still considered a “boomer.”

As I stated the “boomers” are a huge group and quite politically and socially diverse.
