Are we turning a bit liberal-simple-minded here?
My boomer compatriots (from one of the service academies) are largely doctors, lawyers, pilots, and generals. Very very few demonstrate the sub-human IQ which appears to have infected a large part of the MSM boomers.
So please, let’s not indict the entire generation with the afflictions of those who had the misfortune to smoke their life away in Berkeley or Columbia.
Dr. MLK Jr was born in 1929....
Not sure what the boomers contributed to the civil rights movement.
An indictment of the Boomer generation like this usually originates from a member of Gen X or Gen Y.
I was born in 1948 and those my age whom I know seem quite normal. The dopers and demonstrators of the late 60’s were and are of another planet. Hate to sound Kerrylike but I served in Vietnam and saw what drugs did to people over there so I wasn’t insulated from all the turmoil of that time.
JMHO but the boomer misfits the author describes have now pretty much segregated themselves into liberal superghettos (southern California, NY/NJ/MA) and smaller `progressive’ enclaves (Austin TX, Madison WI, Asheville NC).
Here in South Carolina things are mostly copacetic except Lindsey Graham did get reelected.
But yes, depicting all Boomers as aging adolescents is to smear with a broad brush.
