I am 36, I was raised by Boomers and as a kid whenever you fucked up they would tell you to be responsible
But personal responsibility is a conservative value today. They generally want to be responsible for themselves and have the government do less for them and get it of the way.
So how did we get raised by people who seemed conservative but were actually leftists in the end?
I was going to say something similar. The conservative boomers probably weren't the hippies dropping acid, burning bras, and screwing anything that moved. Maybe some were, but it is possible they grew up or straightened out when they had to deal with the harsh realities of life. The war(s) probably changed a bunch of them.
Note - I'm Gen X (male), not a boomer. I've had at least 1 computer my entire adult life and most of my later childhood (started with a Commodore Vic 20 around '81 or '82). I bought a real computer at 17 (a Tandy 1000SL with a 10mb hard card, upgraded to 256k of RAM, and an extra floppy drive). My generation had to deal with both parents wanting to work - leaving us at home fending for ourselves a lot. I learned to program, and later to hack. That probably helped more Gen X people to become - and stay - conservative.
I do however want to point out that we owe a LOT to the boomers, and to whatever the prior generation was called. I'm not talking about war and all that stuff - specifically computers/computing. Some of the boomers were the pioneers that lead us to the digital systems we know today, but one pre-boomer stands out the most to me. If any of you GenZ/Millennials or even some Gen X people have never heard of Grace Hopper you absolutely need to.
Here is just one of MANY stories about (Rear Admiral) Grace Hopper: https://www.navy.mil/Women-In-the-Navy/Past/Display-Past-Woman-Bio/Article/2958917/rear-adm-grace-murray-hopper/ . She retired twice from the Navy. Once from the reserves, and once from the active Navy (after being recalled). She finally retired at 79 years old! Simply amazing.
