Forming an uneducated opinion on something based on an anecdotal experience, and then refusing to back down from it no matter how much time has passed or new informationtion is provided, is a boomer way of life.

You can tell a fundamentalist mindset when they start with the conclusions and the backwards logic doesn’t make sense
