“You need to start looking at the historical timelines, those were the things that they were destroying.”

I lived it. I am from the tail end of the boomers. In school the melting pot was still taught as being a good thing. Bommers moved into “the establishment” in the late 60s early 70s. That’s when things started to go to downhill.

In 1968 the very oldest boomer would first vote, the youngest boomer would be only 4 years old.

What you watched when America started going downhill was the result of the previous legislation from the previous generations like the WWII set.

The homeless came from JFK’s last piece of legislation he signed, the melting pot ended with the civil rights laws, affirmative action, 1965 immigration law, the incompetent use of boomer soldiers in Vietnam.

The NEA destroyed education, the family was destroyed by the Feminists.

Look at the worst of all the movements and legislation and you won’t find the legacy of the boomers but instead the legacy of the GGs and their parents.

The radical left of the first half of the 1900s had successes but they didn’t really gain power until the “greatest generation” came of age to finally implement their radical theories.
