Yes, but it has nothing to do with generations, or age. I prefer "MAGA" to boomer, because I think that's the group most people have a problem with. MAGA does not correlate well with age. MAGA comes in all ages, and even cuts across class. With the rich class supporting it because it's to their advantage, and the bigots of the poor class supporting it because they are bigots and ignorant.

MAGAs and boomers are different groups (that's why the words are spelt differently)

That is spot on. I have just concluded that it isn't my responsibility to educate my parents. And since they don't listen anyway, I also realized that since that is the case, we have not become closer through the years; but actually the opposite. And that all because they're not willing to accept facts, because they're lazy and entitled.

I feel like “having it easier” can be relative. I definitely have it easier than my grandmother who is a black woman born in the late 1930s who only has a high school education. I’ve even had an easier life than my parents in many ways, even if they did achieve the “American Dream”. I may not be able to afford a house right now, but everything else has been easier as a whole so far. I’m in the USA, so we’ll see how the rest of it goes.

ETA: spelling

i have respect for my grandparents so i dont call them this but when they bring up stuff i just nod becuase its better to let them ramble than sit there and argue with someone who could have a heart attack.

I'm so old that I used to tell this story to people to figure out if they were too young to bother with:

A friend and I were in a cheap restaurant for breakfast after being up all night. Server brings the drinks we ordered, sets them down, goes about her business.

"... Hey! This isn't orange juice. This is Tang. Who does she think we are, astronauts??"

What does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Can also be used to refer to a boomer who seems surprisingly OK.

Now I want to see someone wearing a shirt that says:

I've been told I'm an "OK Boomer"

There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's generation, and the millennials.

It's never worth your time or effort to have a discussion/argument with someone who isn't going to participate in good faith.
