PLEASE! Learn some history.

Boomers are despised precisely because of their actions throughout history.

Name the worst one. And it will probably wind up being something that happened at least a year before the Boomers became eligible to vote at age 21. Civil Rights Act? Silent Generation. School integration? Silent Generation. Immigration Reform Act? Silent Generation. Roe v. Wade? A SCOTUS comprised of Greatest/Silent Generation members. Women's Lib, bra burning, Equal Rights Amendment campaign, No Fault Divorce? All that began while the oldest of the Boomer chicks were teenagers.

Thing is, the real culprits in the worst decisions ever made in America are all dead now. Time to man up and start fixing something other than the blame, assholes.

Shit that went down a LONG time before the first Boomers could vote in 1966. The USA recognized the state of Israel in may 1948: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/creation-israel

Was Richard M. Nixon a Boomer? https://ifamericaknew.org/stat/usaid.html

Were JFK or LBJ Boomers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93United_States_relations#Kennedy_and_Johnson_administrations_(1961%E2%80%931969)
