It is because they are old men. Before them the elderly in the West clung to the days of the might of the British Empire and what have you, constantly defending such a position and how great it was when such countries had colonial empires.
It's the same with today's baby boomers. They are old and just cannot move on from the past, not realising that today is a very different world from the 60s and 70s.
Like the old saying goes, "you cannot teach an old dog new tricks."
I agree with Bob's statement, and I would add that you and CH86 do not know the younger generations in the USA. Millennials and Gen Zers are even more progressive and more committed to progressive values and goals than Boomers are. Many Boomers are indeed stuck in the past, but it is not the past of their idealistic youth, but the past of their childhood and of the Reagan/Bush era which coopted, deceived and captured them as their minds atrophied with age. But some Boomers remain able to keep their minds and spirits alive, and they continue to hold to genuine ideals and see actual realities. It is indeed red vs. blue that is the real contest, not boomer vs. millennial. We still hope that we can reverse the temporary regressive misdirection of our society that began in 1980.
