Because literally everyone older than us didn’t do this to us. The rich upper class of them did, just like the rich upper class of young tech bros are screwing us over now.
It’s never been a generational issue, it’s always been a class issue.
Plus, the wave of anti-boomer hate is literally a massive marketing campaign paid for by the former head of Blackstone, all to get the young generation of Americans to hate social security so it could be run by private capital.
Who elected Ronald Reagan twice, and George Bush, and George W. Bush? Who elected Trump?
I agree with you that the hyperbolic assertion that “every person older than us caused these problems” is wrong. But I also disagree with you that this somehow forgives boomers.
Their largest cohorts left us a dumpster fire and they’re doing everything they can on their way out to keep it burning.

By your logic, you did.
If that is what you think you haven’t understood my logic.
My generation is millennial. Our majority supported Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.
Boomers as a voting cohort have always turned out disproportionately to give majority support to bad candidates.
Yes ,millenials elected Trump twice, because your generation was alive when he was elected.
That’s the logic your using to ascribe every previous bad decision to every boomer. By your logic, you are to blame for Trump being elected.
Again, it’s not boomers who did this to you, it’s the rich.
