I sure hope so.
The baby boomers are the ingratitude generation. Their parents fought in a horrible war that killed millions to defeat fascism, and after they were done with that hell they wanted to go home start a family, work a good job and own a house. And of course their kids (the precious baby boomers) criticized them for that.

About nine and a half million boomers were veterans themselves, the difference is that they were overwhelmingly volunteers during the Vietnam War while the generation(s) who fought WWII were overwhelmingly draftees.

The Democrats became much weaker when the boomers started coming of age during the Reagan years, than they had been during their hay days of 1935 to 1975.

Look at the trajectory of Second Amendment rights for example, the boomers have almost totally rolled back the Democrat successes of the previous generations, even the 1965 Immigration Act is under threat now that the boomers are of government leadership age.

Please give specific examples. A LOT of the accusations surrounding boomers actually belong elsewhere, so, I'd like to see what you are talking about.
