White Boomers are definitely the generation of disgrace. * Young in the 60s/70s, oppose Vietnam but (now we know) only because it was *their* asses on the line * Massively benefit from New Deal & Great Society programs that built the blue collar middle classes 🧵

* It's the 1980s, they are established, start pulling the ladder behind them. Unions and welfare are socialism now; elect Reagan and anyone who cuts taxes * Support large wars again, also GOP policies that rake debt to stratosphere (but let's blame brown people, gays, immigrants)

* Lifetime support for housing and fiscal policies that make me a wealthy retiree. Market crashes? No problem, other people's taxes bail out the banks * Young people can't buy homes or colleges? Why can't they just pay for it with an entry-level unionized factory job like I did
