Boomer reverence for the state a hard sell to younger voters

Well, what happened to the days of questioning authority was that the questioners got old – and the new questioners are asking different sorts of questions. Instead of asking why we can't just be rid of authority, as the baby boomer radicals did in the late '60s, our generation is asking where authority went. Because no matter the efforts of the voter drivers at Vote or Die and Rock the Vote to assert the credibility of the federal government, as in "You should turn out to vote in federal elections, because the federal government can give you good things," our generation senses that if the country is worth anything after all, it must be built on more than voting and more than the federal government.
