But not the boomer establishment which John X assumes would be guiding the country through the 4T. Establishment boomers would only be satisfied if the entire planet is democratized. Its ironic that establishment boomers claim to love democracy when they suppress the younger generations and claim that allowing Xers and Millies to rise through the ranks is somehow "against democracy" simply because the young would reject the boomer policies as contrary to our interests or even contrary to self-preservation and they block worldviews that contradict their dogma in the ballot box. The Boomer establishment has an extraordinary sense of entitlement and presumptuousness their attitude toward the american people (especially toward xers and millies) is essentially this: "YOU fight for MY values and MY preferences, you peons".
Yes, this sums up Boomers in general even though there are some notable exception.
