Moved this here because I watched the rest of the video and he gets shitty at the end.

How do we get people like Norm to stop being credulous about flawed science and fucking bigotry.

His larger point with the video is more interesting but it gets lost in anti-trans shit at the end

    There are generally two types of boomer left i have come across.

    Those who were radicalized decades earlier (some were already staunch opposer of US imperialism going back to the Vietnam war) and saw their workers movement being dismantled from the inside by weaponized liberal identity politics post-USSR collapse, these boomers are far more likely to harbor anti-trans/LGBT sentiment.

    Then there the boomers who were radicalized during Bernie/Trump era and shifted leftward toward Lenin/Stalin as the years went by (a small proportion but they do exist), these boomers are generally supportive of LGBT and various other progressive rights.

    At least this is my experience with them.
