I realize that not all boomers are hippies, but it doesn’t change the fact that the boomer demographic has been in control of the ballot box for 40 years and will be for another 20-30.
At no time has a majority of this demographic voted to stop the party. They voted for big government liberalism and all of the rest of us have been forced along for the ride.
I predict a return to real “family values” once the crash winds down and the importance of the family as social insurance reasserts itself.
No, what changes the fact that the boomer demographic has been in control of the ballot box for 40 years is the fact that the boomer demographic has NOT been in control of the ballot box for 40 years.
The oldest Boomers were barely eligible to vote 40 years ago.
They'e been in control of the ballot box for 20 years, maybe. By then, much of the damage had already been done by their parents and grandparents.
