I pray for this to come to pass, but I think you underestimate the obstinacy of Boomers.
I was talking to my parents about Covid, recently, and they were trying to tell me that masks reduced the severity of the disease. I pointed out that there is no possible way to prove that anyone "would have gotten sicker if they hadn't worn a mask" for any particular bout of illness because you can't repeat it, put forth that the statistical evidence suggests no difference, and asked how they knew.
I was told: "experience".
They literally live in a world where their personal experience is the only real thing (I think this is called Sophistry?). Other people are creations of their own mind, so their experience isn't simply invalid, it doesn't exist. My own parents think of me as some kind of doll, or puppet, with no will of my own, no agency, and nothing worth listening to unless it confirms their perception.
How they can be "convinced" of anything, no matter how true, that they don't already want to believe is beyond me.

On that subject, one of my greatest gripes with both the boomers and the goyest generation is that mindset and how theyve utterly ruined religion with it. Instead of realizing that religion is supposed to be a means of knowing God, they have transformed it into a performative act so they can *feel* good about themselves. Its absolutely childish and self-aggrandizing, but they somehow believe that if they just sing hard enough, God will be okay with the fact they have trespassed on every single one of His commandments and complete and utterly ransacked the Church. Spoiler Alert: He will not be.
And its not just Religion either, the Goyest Gen and Boomers have been such utter slaves to their feelings (and thus to the jew, who is a master of manipulating emotion with his verbal sorcery) that it has also determined how they govern society. Instead of using reason to dictate policy, they merely do whatever the jews tell them will make them feel good.
