How did the average American boomer "fuck over the country"?

It was the POLITICIANS from the boomer generation that fucked shit up.
Like all politicians do, both R and D.

Fully embraced feminism and other Marxist ideals. Constantly chased a drug high and built an entire arts culture around it.

So, basically they're millennials and Gen-Z? Except a lot of boomers had no choice in fighting a real war, had to go through Jim Crow Laws, segregation to desegregation (actual race riots), and a pretty shitty economy that wasn't their fault.

Add Viet Nam; JFK, MLK, RFK all blow away; Munich olympic terrorist event; Nixon and Watergate; Arab hostage crisis and oil embargo; Jimmy peanut farmer incompetent Carter; Reagan shot - yeah the boomers had it really good.

Being able to graduate high school and get a full time job that paid enough to support a wife, kids, and buy you a house and car. Yeah, sounds really good actually.

Be careful you’re pointing out their massive blind spot in this circle jerk.

Politicians don't just spring from the earth, do they?

They didn't ruin the country, but they had it easier than the next two generations so young people are resentful of them. It's why the ok zoomer label is so fitting.

Excuse me but I believe GHWBush was from the "greatest" generation. And what about Nixon and LBJ? I agree that it is politicians as a class rather than a generational influence that created the fuck ups. POTUS is a boomer, and he is doing nothing but good for our country because he is NOT of the political class.
