Every boomer I know has said something like “everything is too political these days. When I was younger there wasn’t any of this politics stuff.” And yet these are people who were alive for the Kennedy assassination, the civil rights movement, Vietnam war protests, the stonewall riot, at least two waves of feminism, a whole bunch of airplane hijackings. I could go on. I mention this stuff to these boomers and they respond with like “yeah but I never heard about any of it.”

No social media and I assume they weren’t sitting down to watch the evening news (which wasn’t great anyway).
