Why did an 80-yr-old widower who lives in a retirement comm. spend $50K to take out a NYT's ad PLEADING FOR Trump TO RESIGN?
“I thought of my 2 granddaughters -was haunted by them someday asking me -when Trump was tearing down the country, what did you do?

I’m one of those #Boomers who has been in tech for over 40 years. My kids always assumed that my generation wasn’t supposed to understand tech, and one of them complained that it wasn’t fair that their dad and I knew more than they did.
I said, “Honey, who do you think BUILT the Internet?”

As you can see, the generational pattern holds here as well.
Millennials are the most likely to identify as LGBT, followed by Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation, in that order.

According to Gallup's data, the percent of Millennials who identify as LGBT increased by 8.4% from 2012 to '24.
The percent of Gen X who identifies as LGBT increased by 1.9%.
The percent of Baby Boomers who identify as LGBT increased by 0.3%.

Second, the value for Gen X declined, and the value for the Silent Generation rose, in 2022.
This caused the lines for Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation to move closer together in 2022 than they have been in the surrounding years.

While the younger generations leverage reflection and introspection, the #boomers neglect anything they feel uncomfortable around like sexual preferences, religion and mental health. They save any reflection on themselves for their personal memoirs or a book tour. The overall tone tends to be projected as "they will figure it out" rather than "I should help them figure it out."

"Baby #Boomers allowed Trump to bring on a 'new level of chaos.' We sold out."
"new level of chaos, knowing that it is the fault of my own generation. Growing up with nightly news coverage of Vietnam, civil rights, war protests and former President Richard Nixon sending the National Guard to Kent State University where four students were killed, was so long ago even we don’t seem to remember it happened. Ronald Reagan came along, and we sold out to Republican politics"

By the same token, a clear majority of the current despots in the world are #Boomers. Putin 1952. Xi 1953. Erdogan 1954. Trump 1946. Orban 1963.
Lukashenko 1954. Al Nahyan 1961. Al-Alimi 1954. Mbasogo 1942. Mikati 1955. Abbas 1935.
The list of despot Boomers seems to be unending.
This is not disparaging Boomers because I'm sure it's all coincidence. But should the elder generations be owning the condition of politics that they essentially established around the world?
