Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he understands the frustrations and worries of air traffic controllers who have to work without a paycheck during the government shutdown, but he and the union that represents controllers are also now emphasizing that calling out sick in protest could cost th
It’s actually not the boomers who elected Reagan. It was their parents and the generation that immediately followed them. Boomers, that is the actual baby boom generation (born 1946 to 1955), voted overwhelmingly against Reagan.
I disagree.

In 1980, it was kinda close, 45v44 (18-21yo) and 44v44 (22-29yo), but I wouldn’t say they were “overwhelmingly against”. By 1984 they seemed quite in favor of him. They had help, no doubt, but they were not largely against; marginally against at most.

This is an incomplete picture. Because it’s from exit polls it only accounts for those who actually voted. It doesn’t take in to account at all those who abstained. And it doesn’t list by generation just by 10-year increments. And generations don’t fall into neat 10-year increments. At that point in time boomers were anywhere from 20 to 35.
Abstained? You mean helped Reagan win? How’d that strategy work out?
False. Behold, arithmetic!
1980 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-21 (1962-1959) =3
22-29 (1958-1951) =7
30-44 (1950-1936) =14
45-59 (1935-1921) =14
60+ (1920-past)
1984 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-24 (1966-1960) =6
25-29 (1959-1955) =4
30-49 (1954-1935) =19
50-64 (1934-1920) =14
65+ (1919-past)
What they lack is a neat cutoff at 1945.
No one is doing that.

More arithmetic! 1964-1946=18
1945-1960. Sure. Seems a breath away from a neat ten year increment, but sure.
Doesn’t stop them from sucking his cadaverific cock nowadays though, frankly if they had come out swinging against him more aggressively there wouldn’t have been nearly as many issues nowadays.
K, but you could say that for any voting generation.
Id say it’s far more serious with the Boomers as a whole, pretty sure nobody is sucking Wilson’s fucking corpse cock.
My parents were boomers and they (and all their boomer friends) fucking hated Ronnie Raygun. It definitely was not all boomers.
