I don’t understand where this sentiment comes from. Don’t vote?? It’s not like being tired is being dead. The status of the world/country/society still impacts older people too.
> Hint: it isn't because "boomers" are more vulnerable to misinformation
Is this actually true though? Well all demographics are vulnerable to misinformation, seniors do seem on average somewhat easier to manipulate. There is a reason that scams often target seniors, it isn't because all groups are equally susciptible to manipulation.
It's lovely to see that the youth of today know everything just like the youth of your day (my day, whatevs). The boomers get made fun of by the kids because they don't know tech, but the kids don't want to admit that they fall prey to the similar scams/conspiracies/blah just because it comes from some influencer.
