And I did not respond to your premise as if it were an ad hominem attack. I don’t take it personally because nothing you say even remotely applies to me. Insisting that one thing is “literally” like something else does not make it so. Ron DeSantis is not a Boomer. Neither is Ted Cruz or Marjorie Taylor Green or most of the justices on the SCOTUS. Saying that Boomers are the ones in power or the ones voting for them is like saying Boomers are the ones eating at McDonald’s. That may be true, but so does every other generation. Correlation does not imply causation.

So, just because you’ve latched onto this trendy campaign that happens to get a lot of traction on social media because it’s overly simplistic, does not require much thought, either on your part or that of the people whose rage you tap into does not make it true.

Who came before Boomers? Now drill down to the generation before. And then keep going and going and going, throughout the decades and generations. You’ve basically disproved your own argument: You’re white. You agree that white people are the cause of racism. These are your words, almost verbatim from which I infer: racism is a structural and systematic issue. Stop me if you disagree. So, if you’re going to argue that racism is essentially baked into the foundation of our society, then you can’t also claim that it’s simply a generational thing. And I think the same arguments can be made about the people/laws that are hurting (all of) us now.

Barack Obama - Boomer.
