      Also the generation that marched for African American Civil rights, boycotted apartheid South Africa etc.
      Many were brainwashed by Reagan, Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand but not all.
      Also blaming poor people for the policy choices of the extremely wealthy and influential is not fair at all.

      A generation is not a monolith.

      Edit, do you condemn Bernie Sanders? Jimmy Carter? Dolly Parton?
