Boomers don't have to care anymore because they're all retired.
I tried explaining to my parents that a civil war/societal collapse is coming soon and they think I'm hysterical. They think the fact that I want a firearm to defend myself with, means that I must be actively seeking out conflict.
They are retired. They lived their best years during the greatest period of prosperity in human history. I am living my prime years in the decline of an empire, waiting for a violent collapse to happen, watching the American Dream slip further and further away into the darkness.
It is infuriating that even though they see liberals as dangerous idealogues, they have absolutely no clue just how bloodthirsty and zealous they are. They see them as just dumb young people in a phase like hippies. They don't see them for the Bolsheviks that came before.
As I see friends and acquaintances my age perennially act as though it's 2004 I start to understand this mindset a bit more.
Boomers had the TV, my friends have The Seattle Stranger or whatever random blogger they started reading in college. In both cases, it keeps their frame of reference static.
