Boomer here.
As the first TV generation, boomers got mass conditioned, and at that time we didn't understand the techniques being used.
Deconditioning a boomer is a challenge, if it's worth it.
First one that worked for me was talking to a guy about Bernie Sanders, cause most boomers dislike him, anyway.
"You know how you know Bernie Sanders is lying?"
"How?"
"He's a jew that says he's going to give you something."
You have to make it specific to a person. You can't start out with broad discussions about Jew conspiracies.
When they complain about a specific person doing something horrible, just go, "Well, duh. They're jewish. What did you expect?"
Quote that worked best for me was, "The jew cries out in pain as he strikes you."
Most people never re-examine early thought processes. You have to make them do that, and it doesn't happen in one conversation.
Kek, one of the good ones. Even up thru the 90s it was ok to say you got "jewed" on a bad transaction or arguing about money made someone "such a jew." Michael Jackson of all people named them uncensored in "They Don't Care About Us."
Good quote too. Poland and Russia have lots of aphorisms from having to deal with them for so long. Solzhenitsyn's a great resource as is Juri Lina.
