Pew data showing Xers consistently to the left of boomers:

Race-adjusted numbers showing the same thing:

White millenials are especially to the left of white boomers.
Also why would you just toss out the Gallup polling data showing that boomers supported the Vietnam war more than Silents and GIs? Is there actual data that suggests otherwise?
If you’re gonna claim that boomers are liberal because some of them contributed to the anti-war movement despite the bulk of the generation being more supportive than their elders of the war, I can just as easily argue that millenials are a bunch of right wingers because of the alt right online movement which happens to be popular among some millenials. That doesn’t make it true though.
Also if you’re gonna move the entire 1961-1964 cohort to Xers to prove they’re more conservative, you have to also move the very conservative 1943-1945 cohort to the boomers. This maintains consistency with S-H.
