“Hmmmm, you want to better society yet you participate in society? Owned with facts and logic.”

That's the criticism this meme is making about Grandma though. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

No, that generation voted for conservative politicians who lead us directly to where we are now. I know the real blame lies with the politicians and capital class, but Reagan was elected in an absolute landslide - everyday boomers are not blameless.

Right the whole generation. The generation that spawned the sexual revolution and the civil rights movement. All ultra conservatives. And millennials, not a conservative among them of course.

More than 50% voted for Reagan, and older people vote more conservatively in general. I’m well aware that there were leftist people then (arguably more than nowadays), but as a generation they royally fucked us. That’s the point, and you’re acting like we’re calling out your grandma specifically lol.
