State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Can we conclude anything else from the graph?

2021 data showed boomers holding 47% of consolidated political power in all three branches, compared to less than 30% X.
As of 2025-26, Gen X has claimed the House, but is marginal compared to 28 years of dominant boomer control.
Boomers also constitute majority campaign spending dominance, and key leadership roles.
None of this matters anymore. The wolves are here, the nation is being fleeced of every single thing it has. And it wasnt the senile silent gen commie sellout that did us in, it was the sleek boomer “deal maker” who appealed to the Fox News crowd.
Now I get my choice of poisons, feral invaders, Israeli dual nationalists, chinese occupiers, russian attrition, Iranian sleepers, cartel hitmen, economic collapse or worse.
I’m not happy Bob. Not happy at all.
Winner winner chicken dinner!
The underlying statistics are irrelevant! They are being used to distract and divide, at the end of the day, they don’t matter. It’s all for greater isreal. That’s the part people really need to grok.
The people driving the car (off the cliff) are religious zealots, who are convinced they are doing the work of God. You will not reason with these people, they will not listen to anything, short of the voice of God. (insert conspiracy theories about 1-world government, 1-world religions, and alien holograms here).
As said above, NONE of this really matters in the grand scheme.
Classifying people into group that allegedly all think the same is a fools errand. Personal beliefs come from life experiences.
Take me , I’m a boomer but as defined by the current class warfare, I cant be. Because I don’t think or act like the whole group is supposed to.
I have a very large life experience. Uncle Sam sent me all over the planet. I and my family have lived all over the planet for extended times also. So my sons dont fit the required paradim either.
My conclusion from the graph is boomers should step aside, enjoy retirement with their families and enjoy their wealth. YOU WON! Do they have to keep rubbing my nose in it?
My impression of the Boomer generation is thus: Imagine a big delicious chocolate cake. The Boomers cut out a big piece for themselves. Then they ringed the rest of the cake with concertina wire and put a guard on it.
I think its far more accurate to say that in complete ignorance (mostly because the government schools, media, “leaders” KEPT them ignorant), they embraced the things that delivered financial benefit to themselves at the moment, without fully appreciating how economically destructive those same policies/programs, etc. would be down the road to succeeding generations. The political system DENIED them the ability to vote for any real changes if/when they realized that changes in direction were needed….and here we are. Those in POWER deserve ZERO forgiveness for what they have done however – regardless of the generation they are from. If not for the criminal actions of government, their protected cartels (especially in banking), and others, the cake available to ALL would have kept increasing in size. But those in power TOOK all the growth for themselves, and one can hardly blame regular folks for wanting to hold onto what they have. The concertina wire was put in place more by government than by the average citizen.
I agree with your retort. The Boomers are RUBES! They had the chance to be the steward of a constitutional republic and they BLEW IT! Boomers don’t believe in a true free market system! They are the generation of regulatory capture, anti-trust, anti-labor and anti-competition. Oh well, Boomers gonna BOOM!
To be fair to Boomers, The Greatest Generation fought fascism in Europe then did NOTHING to stop its econom8c implementation in the US by both FDR and Truman. Economic ignorance, not holding government accountable for its crimes or holding it to the limits imposed by the Constitution, are all common factors with EVERY GENERATION since 1789. The horrors imposed by FDR are STILL DESTROYING this country, yet nobody in either the Silent, Greatest, or the previous worked to undo any of it.
Well said. If the idiots in the northern states had any long range perspicacity concerning how they allowed Lincoln to crap all over the Constitution, we might not find ourselves here in this hopeless morass right now.
However, they allowed him to completely bypass constitutional limits, and did so for reasons of their own political and economic expediency. That was one of the biggest single steps in getting us to where we’re at now.
It would have been far easier to make a graph with a Y axis labeled “lying whores operating under the influence of a foreign agent”, and had a single bar showing 100% (I’m giving Massie a provisional pass since he’s out anyway, and seems to be the lone ranger in terms of possessing any actual principles).
