An astute analysis of one particular class of boomers (of which I too was a part—the middle-class idealists who loved the Earth and humanity, were pained by greed and cruelty, and ardently pursued a better, more just, and sustainable democracy. But starting with Reagan, the “silent majority” prevailed, and greed, ignorance, jingoistic cruelty, and denial destroyed our dreams and ushered in the present age of hatred, bigotry, and mindless violence, embodied in Donald Trump, while pig-headed denial of science prevented us from doing anything to slow the utter destruction of our planet’s biological support system. But all these lying creeps were boomers and their offspring as well. So generational stereotypes don’t explain anything.
