BoomerLib

The "BoomerLib" is a highly self-assured person of Baby Boomer age or older holding views promoted by corporate media (CNN, MSNBC, major TV networks and their anchors), left-leaning celebrities (George Takei, Alyssa Milano, Bette Midler, Rob Reiner) and organs of the U.S. Democratic Party. Communicates in partisan, in-group talking points. Pretends to be part of a "Resistance" movement, but supports security state apparatus (CIA, FBI, et al) in order to suppress the out-group. Often angry and hostile to independent thinkers and third parties. Social media behavior includes posting memes with shallow humor, hyperbole and jail fantasies (particularly obsessed with "getting" Donald Trump). Complains about politicians of the other party going on vacation or golfing. Oblivious to controversies raised by the opposing side and to excesses of their own. Insists that unfavorable election results are due to Russian interference and that anyone with right-leaning opinions is a "Russian bot" or conspiracy theorist. Believes that the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 was an event worse than 9/11 or U.S. Civil War. Exhibits difficulty in grasping satire or mockery and incapable of self-reflection or self-criticism. Synonyms: BlueAnon, BlueMAGA The "BoomerLib" is the near mirror image of the "BoomerCon," (right-wing Boomer and older), an archetype prone to similar communication style: partisan talking points, trafficking in daily outrage, cringey memes and odd capitalization.
