The boomers also gave us a GOP congress, and provided the margin of victory for Reagan. "Greatest Generation" voters gave us the Great Society, decades of liberal Dem control in the house and Senate, and a bloated bureaucracy that will likely never be partially rolled back.
More boomers served in uniform than carried a protest sign. This is lost on many, but not on this Gen Xer.
Look at what was done to the second amendment before boomers got the reins of power.
Boomers reversed the anti gun rights movement of the previous 50 years that had almost ended the right to even own a gun for millions of Americans. NOW is in shambles, the NAACP is hardly heard from anymore, the ACLU is weaker than ever, the NEA is weaker, the Supreme Court is better than the 1960s.
The boomers didn’t and couldn’t and can’t undo all that the “greatest generations” did to this nation, for one thing the GGs gave us the 1965 Immigration Act which means that we can never become what we were, but the boomers have slowed the damage and they have reversed much of it.
