Can you tell me what has shaped the political identity of baby boomers?
<|assistant|>
Generally, baby boomers’ political identity was shaped by the upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s, including the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement and the struggle for women’s rights. Additionally, baby boomers were impacted by the economic changes of the era, including inflation and high unemployment rates. These experiences created an environment in which political activism became a means of expressing the generation’s ideals, sparking a more liberal and progressive stance on political issues such as war, economic policies and the role of government. These ideologies still persist among many members of the baby boomer generation.
