I don’t kow about that. boomers are the biggest fans of the entitlement state. They were the first generation to be born and live through the golden age of social security when there was no threat of shortage. They embrace Medicare as we know it. Younger generations mostly accept that they’ll never see a penny from SS.

The biggest lovers of it created it.

If you look at America, the radical, permanent, fatal gains of the left, were made from roughly 1935 to 1975, in fact since the boomers came of leadership age in America, the left has ceased making the type of advance they did during that period, and some things have even been rolled back like welfare and guns, unfortunately the 1965 immigration act put a poison bullet into America's heart, blocking change and writing an unavoidable future.

A lot of people associate boomers with the 1960s, but actually they were children mostly, the first election that all boomers could vote in for president, was in 1984, the first year that the oldest boomer reached Paul Ryans age was in 1987, boomer Sarah Palin was only 23 that year. The boomers could not undo everything the left had accomplished over 50 to 60 years, even if they wanted to, but the next generations won't even come close to trying, remember that boomers have always been pretty conservative, with 52% of the under 30 vote voting for Nixon in 1972, in 2008, McCain won 34% of that age group. We all know where we are heading as the older people die off, it isn't going to get better, it will get worse, already all this rino, move left stuff, is to win the younger voters, not the older ones.
