Yeah my mom was a die hard liberal our only political conflicts were that I’m an eco focused communist and she wanted a country just a bit left of what Obama campaigned on.

And it’s not even based on wealth every time. I’ve met boomers who drifted left as they got older and wealthier until they just started adopting their kids’ queer friends who had been rejected by their parents.

The question really comes down to whether or not they’re comfortable with the world changing and that people are different from them.

Yep, people without empathy exist in all generations, an empathetic boomer that sees their grandkids' future getting fucked won't be leaning right!
