It didn’t take all of them. But they set the tone. IMHO we were the worst generation in the history of the nation.
Children did not set the tone, the generations that ran the nation from the 1930s to the 1990s were the most destructive in our history and set the tone, and our future in stone with the unionization of government, and mass importation of democrat voters, whites have not voted democrat since 1964.
Boomers (the Reagan Generation) have actually moved the country right since they came into power, they are having to deal with a voter base made of up of largely democrats imported from foreign nations because of the 1965 Immigration Act, so no one will ever be able to return the nation to the conservative principles pre-1930s, but we have stopped some of the worst gains of the left in the last 20 years, and have even brought to the forefront many conservative issues that were impossible to deal with until the boomers came to power in the last 15 to 20 years.
