My mother is very early silent - Dec '29 - while she probably could have almost been a GI she definitely exhibited way more silent tendencies. Most of her friends have already passed, and any influence she has had is pretty much gone. Any family or friends from that cohort are pretty much in subsistence mode.
Of course,the textbook answer societally is that silents have provided a moderating influence over the boomers (in particular); which once gone, will leave them unchecked. Seems like that process is just about complete (last night's health care vote being one last gasp).
