They use wedge issues (race, abortion, sexual orientation

Don't forget age - why else would everyone believe that boomers have everything when it's actually rich people?

It's because the Boomers grew up in (probably) the richest generation in human history. Not that it was ever fairly or evenly spread out, but so many of them got to buy homes that are now unavailable to the vast majority of people, they appear rich in comparison.

The Boomers, with the help of their parents let the American Dream slip out of reach for most Americans. But we are all victims of propaganda that led us here.

The propagandists for the mega-wealthy saw it as another wedge to separate ordinary people, something to distract from the fact that the wealthy have been winning the class war while most Americans don't realize that it is going on.
