"You're lumped into that group because every boomer I know..." That right there is what the other side does. "All blacks are XXX...", "all Latinos do XXX...", "all women...", etc.
Stereotype: an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about a group of people with a particular characteristic. (Britannica)
I have news for you... Boomer here with boomer friends that are wide awake and are not Faux news devotees. There are more of me and my friends than you realize. Hell, my 84yo mother was more awake than some people here!
Again, you and your friends, which I am very proud of, are the fringe minority. My job puts in contact with a lot of new people every week. Mostly conservative. In your age group, 90+% are Fox sheep. This is about fours of experience too and it hasn't changed much in the last two. I run into very few boomers getting their news outside Fox and even fewer doing their own real research. It's a critical issue and if we act like it's not because you and your friends say it's not, we can't address it properly. Frankly, I'm sick of this group because many of them are dumb enough to turn on Trump because they're too thick to release that narrative is being feed to them by Fox.

"Stereotype" - an inconvenient truth.
