This is a good point although stronger if you leave out environmental degradation since the environment is a lot better now than when boomers started coming of age

That is true in the Bay Area and w/ Jerry Brown, but I guess I am referring to this particular administration's treatment of the EPA and the Paris Accords.

Good point. Is there a similar breakdown for boomers v. whatever that group in between is called? Paul Ryan et al.

Is this a thing where that cohort was always mostly conservative despite prominent counterexamples? Or got more conservative as got older?

I would be interested in the ratio of seniors to working age people among voters who actually turn out in both of these periods.
