“Considering that it all started before the first boomer could vote I would say it was not entirely their fault.”
Blaming all the trouble on Boomers isn’t quite right. Everyone had a share in the mess. The first election boomers could vote in was 1968. The Great Society and the 1965 Immigration Act were in full force then. That’s where the worst damage was done. As a reaction, Richard Nixon won on the law-and-order platform, and in an even bigger landslide in 1972.
You could blame the generation who elected Woodrow Wilson twice. Or perhaps the generation that decided in the 1840s that letting a flood of immigrants who did not share the majority language, culture or religion into the country for the purposes of having a peasant class was a great idea.
You could even blame the people in the 1820s who decided to change the way the president was elected because a corrupt bitter old coot had his tender little feefees hurt because he could not get elected the original way.
Plenty of blame to go around.
Or we could just try to work with what we have and make the best of it but what is the fun in that?
