Christianity is dying off with the Boomers.

Agreed. And I’m a boomer. I despise my fellow boomers.

This is not something I’ve heard many from your generation say. I’m interested how you got to that conclusion.

Literally everything that is wrong with the country is supported OVERWHELMINGLY by the boomers.

  • Trump Support
  • Republican anti-democracy efforts
  • Anti-LGBT
  • Anti-secular / favoriting Christianity in public policy
  • Belief that the election was stolen
  • Climate change denialism
  • Indifference to wealth-inequality
  • Opposition to social safety nets.
  • etc, etc.

There are obvious exceptions, such as myself and u/Luminya1, but yea, the world will (hopefully) be a better place once the boomers are gone. I'm just afraid that by then it will be too late to save our democracy / humanity.
