I didn't say boomers ruined everything, you're right that the young civil rights advocates in the 60s were also boomers, but the 70s is when they grabbed political control and never let go.

Sure it wasn't all bad, but they wanted to change the system and did, and we are still dealing with the consequences today.

    The 70s is when Boomers took the electoral majority. But the people actually in control - the Nixons and Rehnquists and Gettys and Waltons - were significantly older.
