At least they had an incentive to vote the cons in back in the day, because (I think) the fiscal policy was working for the boomers as they continues to gain wealth throughout their lives. So if they just wanted to fuck over the have-nots, there was at least a reason they could give.
But how can they expect the younger generations to vote for pieces of shit when none of it even gives us more money? They want to be the elites while forgetting that the “bread” that accompanies the “and circuses” is pretty crucial in suppressing the masses. Hungry people start wheeling out the guillotines pretty sharpish if it looks like they’ll be staying hungry.
That’s the lie they told themselves when they found out they were pieces of shit and not being young and dumb.
Makes it palatable.

First paragraph is basically the explanation I’ve heard first-hand for this “truism”.
