Part of the problem with the boomers is that they are hanging on for too long… we are about 10 years removed from the oldest of them pushing 85 for gods sakes. How long can the status quo group of 30 years ago stick around? And don’t tell me it’s some sort of “we want what’s best for you” thing either… the generation gap is so large you could drive a Mack truck through it so any major changes boomers make to satisfy themselves and party like it’s 1952 may cause riots in the streets.
There will come a time around 2035-2040 when the boomers will be nearly completely irrelevant. When we get there we will get some meaningful change and the dam will break. Given the makeup of millennials and gen Z politically it will be a large leftward lurch. They actually have the ability to do this now… millenials are the largest bloc of people in the US… we just don’t vote as reliably as boomers do.
