We boomers wised up, got smarter and realised liberalism is a load of crap. Further we learned that sometimes you have to kill the bad guys.
There were at least two or more strains of boomers. I was from the western/southern bunch that swilled beer and listened to Southern Rock. Yeah, I ended up in AA too. Got a sixteen year sober chip recently.
I used to teach college, and when doing sociology would point out the wanton wildness of my generation. The students would all tell me their parents never participated in "sex, drugs, and rock and roll."
It wasn't for me to tell them, but I had gone to high school with half the kids' parents in the room. They'd have been shocked, I tell ya.
As an over fifty person, I'd have to say that the great majority of young people I know tend to be very liberal political-wise. We'll see what they think twenty years from now. I do have one son-in-law who is a conservative. He's also a computer whiz (runs the computer department at a state universty). But I would guess that most young people are very apolitical. They're interested in other things. However I do have a very political daughter-in-law who is also a rabid lib. She's a lawyer, but a very nice person. No, they're not mutually exclusive.
