12 1 ReplyDid they vote republican when they were younger, though? As I understand it, more of their generation vote republican now than when they were younger.

7 0 ReplyYou are widely generalizing. Boomers as a whole are not particularly more conservative than younger generations and lean liberal.

I take it that providing other sources or data to support my assertion would be pointless? You've just decided "boomer bad" and that's it...

Nope, I'm gonna thank you for providing more recent data which shows something interesting - Boomers as a generation grew more Dem leaning until relatively recently. So obviously I need to correct my assertion that boomers lean liberal, which clearly is no longer the case.
But... and I'm sure you knew I'd have a but... One of the things people here do is issue the blanket "boomer bad" declaration as if ALL Boomers are conservative. Clearly, your data shows about a 45% Dem to 50% Republican split. To me this is an incredibly important point.

4 0 ReplyLol seriously. Also your conclusion was obvious, but I guess that is because I've also been paying a modicum of attention over the last few years
2 1 ReplyAlso your conclusion was obvious
Can you define in real terms the practical difference between 45% Dem vs 50% Dem ?
