Again, you are conflating age for wealth. Lots of boomers did no such thing, and were as poor and powerless as you are. The powers that be got you good with the generational strife propaganda, so you don't focus on the actual class war problem.
Most of Boomers did said such thing. How tf you think Trump got in power, magic? You ever check out what Facebook looks like? You are confused as the people you are screeching about.
Trump isn't just popular with boomers. Plenty of younger people are MAGAs, or just don't vote.
The point of debate here was that Trump is popular with boomers, very much so.
That doesn't actually matter if he's popular with every other age group, too. Have you seen the post election surveys? His most popular age bracket in 2024 was gen X, but his lead isn't nearly as large as you'd think. I you want to blame someone, blame rural white religious men who don't have a college degree.

Boomers support right wing extremism and Trump, pretty simple.
Not at all. Owning a home and a car didn't used to equate "wealth" in the 60's. But the middle class and lower middle class certainly perpetuated things like Red Lining and segregating communities. Sure, they got fucked by the Vietnam war, but they also got a Constitutional Amendment to vote starting at age 18 in 1971 and elected fucking Nixon in 1972! Boomers were the fuel for the socio-economic disaster of the 1980s.They invented "greed is good." They gave up on the dreams of the Hippie movement and sold out.
