“It wasn’t the baby boomers who put us on the train to hell. It was the so called greatest generation. They’re the ones who voted for the pie in the sky crook politicians that started the whole New Deal-Great Society-cradle to grave socialistic Ponzi scheme that is getting ready to crash.”
I’m not sure the guys who were 17 and 18 in 1941 and grizzled veterans by 1945 did any voting in 1932 or 1936.
I think your focus on that point ought to be on the generation prior to the ‘greatest generation.’

But they did create the 60s and the great society, the immigration law of 1965, Vietnam etc.
We didn’t start reining them in until about the mid 70s, since then we have even started rolling back some of their destructive politics, especially since the early 90s.
As the old dinosaurs have retired, we have been retaking our gun rights, slowing up affirmative action, building resistance to the 1965 immigration bill, even the old feminism of their generation has been weakened.
A lot of people who thought FDR was wonderful during the '30s woke up later during the early years of the Cold War and became strong conservatives. Compare Truman's percentage of the popular vote in 1948 to FDR's landslide in 1936...no Democrat has gotten as much as 51% of the popular vote since 1936 with the sole exception of LBJ in 1964.

No, but they were the majority voting block that elected JFK (Viet Nam) and LBJ (the Great Society). And they were the majority of the Congress for the the sixties through eighties.
