No, see... we'll get to eat the boomers.
Neither Bernie Sanders nor Donald Trump are boomers, yet they are basically as different as people can be.

Whoever came up with "generational psychology" must have been intent on finding yet more ways to divide and conquer. We need solidarity of purpose, not infighting based on artificial or statistical constructs.
