That was a big motivator for us boomers when young to vote and work for candidates like McGovern. Maybe the young people need to feel the hand of the state upon their backs a lot harder.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Boomers, despite the rhetoric, were always about saving their own asses. Couldn't really be bothered to worry about anyone else.
Obviously, you need a class on irony.
Millennials don't seem to worry about anyone else either. In their ironic detachment, they wait for someone else to change things. They wait for us boomers, the ones they scream and moan about, to save them, while they whine and occupy streets.
