    I don't think it's sufficiently appreciated that Boomers as a whole have always been a conservative generation, moreso than their parents and than their children or grandchildren. The New Left was a minority phenomenon.https://twitter.com/dhmontgomery/status/1038657112824586241 …

        And then there is the myth that milennials are more progressive than baby boomers. http://time.com/4909722/trump-millennials-igen-republicans-voters/ …http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-millennials-politics-conservative-20160907-snap-story.html …

        Yes. I call it the Forest-Gumpification of history. My parents are boomers, and our family were hippies and anti-war activists for a number of years. NOT a majority lifestyle or political perspective at all.

        I've commented on the same to my boomer parents after perusing their high school yearbooks. "I don't see the sex, drugs & rock n' roll! I see a bunch of dorks wearing ties and really bad haircuts and eyeglasses that are somehow back in fashion."

        I think they’re referring to the WWII generation.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        You mean the boomers who protested the Vietnam War, freedom rode to Mississippi, created the green movement, burned their bras, rioted at Stonewall, dropped acid at Woodstock, held political funerals on the White House lawn, and transformed gender roles? Those boomers?

        The data in the tweet shows those Boomers were a minority, as Boomers supported the Vietnam war more than older generations.

        Someone had to save for a house so you'd have basements to live in.
