To be fair, I read a while ago that the, “Great Wealth Transfer,” was going to fizzle because of medical costs. Medicare doesn’t cover long term care, so a lot of the wealth that Boomers would have left behind is getting eaten by the medical industry.
Still, they gutted the social safety nets for short-term stock market gains, so fuck boomers.
You have to remember that for Reagan’s first election, all but one state went for him. The entire generation and their parents/grandparents voted for destroying social safety nets.

Fuck rich boomers (and those who voted for them). There are a lot of good ones. No war but class war, etc.

Even an overwhelming EC victory doesn’t mean complete unanimity.
No but it did show where the zeitgeist was because I believe it was one of two times when that happened in US history.
