    People just like using “boomer” as a euphemism for “old.” Same type of person as those who have used “millennial” as a euphemism for “young” for the past decade plus.

      And boomer seems to be just any white person with grey hair. It’s not even referencing a specific generation. It’s just a catch all for ‘all the old, white people I don’t like who have the right to vote for things’
