I'm only 46, so at the tail end of the Boomer era. We were educated in public schools to respect this nation, its founders and its history. I don't think that tradition carried on into the Gen X timeline.
You’re just closer in mentality to the gen-xers. The kids who are in college and in the 20s are the ones that went democrat. Not the gen-x crowd. Most of my crowd wound up rejecting socialism.
The boomers are running congress for God’s sake. Look what they’re doing. 30-40 years ago they were screaming on campuses rebelling against authority. Now that they are the establishment they pass hate speech laws and set up ‘protest areas’ or tell you you can’t have a bible study in your dorm room because you’re a TA, or you’ll get arrested if you protest the way THEY did back in the 60s and 70s. And those bastards used molotov cocktails and destroyed buildings and crap like that. Now Pelosi goes on TV and cries that the tax protestors are using language that makes her scared.
