Way back in the past I was a moderate Republican, but have voted Democratic for President since 1984 (I missed the chance to vote in 1980 because of a conflict, but would not have voted for Ronnie Raygun if I had voted.) I have only voted for one Republican down-ballot since 1980. Boomers are the generation that protested the Vietnam War and mostly supported progressive issues. Of course, there are/were Boomers who never saw the light.
