There was Boomers and then around 1955 to 1965 there were Boomers II
The “Boomers” messed up everything and continue to this day.
The delineation point was Boomers II had draft cards and the draft was ended before they were drafted. They experienced a totally different experience than Boomers and were too young to riot and protest, and quietly moved into the ranks of society where they reside today the 1955 group turn 70 next year.
Some of the original Boomers will disagree but it has pretty much been researched and the hypothesis is well documented.
I tend to agree.
If you do your research, you’ll find that most of the protestors and those burning college campuses were members of “the silent generation.” My older sister was born in 1948, I was born in 1951, we were both in HS during most of the so called “Boomer” led riots.
Go.
You’re summarizing a generation of a lot of different people and lifestyles. Where did the boomers hurt you?
LBJ and his war on poverty? The die was cast back with Wilson and Roosevelt ushering in socialism.
Unless a person had money back then, just like today a person couldn’t do anything to change the face of the nation or the drive to moral relativism, the Maoists, Alinksy-ites and Cloward-Piven people.
All generations strive to survive and pass on something good. The Jesus movement was pretty cool. There’s never been a revival as big as that since and never will be.
That is the last hurrah of the 70’s.
As stated, the die was cast long before the boomers.
