Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.
This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.
I don’t think the artist is saying only Boomers have this problem. It is possible to express one’s opinion on one issue without needing to address all similar issues.
Also it would be rather weird to have a Boomer and a Zoomer together in this situation.
I’ve been saying here for ages that the perception of boomers being overwhelmingly right wing and younger generations being overwhelmingly left wing is far, far from accurate. You can look at the demographic data from the prior two elections and see that, yes, there were more conservative boomers than liberal, but it’s not a big margin, and for younger generations it was flipped. Now it appears the younger folks are more conservative than liberal.
As a very liberal boomer, it’s been frustrating to get so many truly hateful responses, even recently, based on nothing other than the year I was born. I kept feeling like that level of intolerance didn’t bode well, and now I’m thinking that concern was validated.

Your criticism of the comic is a case of Whataboutism.
It’s like if the comic was making fun of a dog liking food and you then
chimed in with “hey, humans like food too…why didn’t they include humans in their example?”
Look at the comedy in the comic. Have those things been witnessed by others and turned into an exaggerated stereotype?
Yes, they have. Stating that other things are also true does not negate the humor of the comic.

Ok boomer
I really hope this phrase dies.
Ok boomer
There’s a place for it imo, as a response to cliché boomer opinions
