The earliest boomers turned 20 in ‘66. I think TV is talking more
About those who were actually old enough to participate in the civil rights and peace movements (unlike me and you if you graduated Tech in ‘81).
That’s who we think of as the uber-progressive generation. Like SDH says below, I think our impression of that generation on whole is skewed by history’s depiction of that movement, about which many of that age were more ambivalent than history recalls.
TV’s point is that a lot of those folks are now the 70+ white guy demographic which is Trump’s strongest support base.
