Judging by US politics nowadays and their behaviour in regards to both Israel's genocide in Gaza and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the average boomer would've sided with the Nazis.

That's because they collectively have the political intelligence of a concussed pigeon.

They go on and on about freedoms and their freedoms and their freedoms to have guns and in the next sentence endorse Trump a man who if he had his way would invite fascism into the country. Presumably their guns would be taken off them at that point. Since fascism with an armed population rarely works out.

But none of them realize this because that's like three steps down the line, and they're still struggling to think about step one.
