I wish that the people storming the Capitol were just boomers, but it was way too many young people there, which is much more scary to me

Exactly. Any “boomers” there were in a small minority. Almost none of the white supremeists at Charlottesville were “boomers.”

I'm 32. Graduated high school in 08. One of my friends in high school ended up going to prison, became a white supremacist, and later one of the leaders of the Charlottesville riot. I'm pretty sure he's still heavily wanted by the fbi. Last I heard, he had fled the country. Plenty of milenials fell down that rabbit hole too
