The article focuses on Trump and his legal problems and his desperation, but the fact that the Boomers are going to start dying en masse over the next decade (the oldest ones are now 78) is another factor. Their demographic is getting old as shit. That’s why they are so desperate as a whole.
According to that chart GenX is still a problem and they’ll be around for a while. The thing that gets me worried is the huge number of “Independents” in Millennials and GenZ. How many of those are Liberal Independents and how many of those are Conservative Independents? I wish there was a followup question whenever people where given the option of Independent.
GenX and I’d sooner vote for someone with 81 years behind him than 91 charges ahead of him.
Also: fuck every last garbage person conservative, climate change is fucking real, trans rights are human rights, black lives matter, universal healthcare is a right and property is not a fucking investment.
Black lives matter, sure, bout the same as any one elses.
Yeah, you got it! The next step is understanding that they aren’t treated the same. Lives are lost in police interactions or the justice system in general. And they’re still discriminated against for housing among other things… Do you support BLM yet?
It wasn’t even the comment of yours that got reported, just the one that was breaking the rules. I dismissed the report on your other comment because nothing there was problematic.
I’ve seen other polls that suggest that Gen X is basically a 50/50 split, which means they kind of cancel each other out. But right wing Gen X’ers are basically Boomer-lites so these annoying conspiracy addled people will be with us for the long haul.
I’m not sure how the independents split in the younger generations, but even if its close to 50/50 that’s still a huge boost for the Dems as the Boomers die off.
First half of Gen X is Boomers, young edition. Second half of Gen X is Millenials, old edition. There really is a big line right in the middle somewhere.
Well at least one. I am independent because Democrats are center right and I’m more progressive. I’m older GenX. Husband is much more conservative but all of both our kids think more like me, though they register as D mostly.
It’ll probably happen with millennials and younger too. It’s true we got fucked over, but for some people it’s surprisingly easy “fuck you I got mine” as we age, and there will always be grifters who take advantage of that.

They are going full blown fascist because it’s the only way they’re going to be able to retain power in the future.
A huge number, and a disproportionate number at that, of boomers died during covid. We will be feeling that for the next ten years at least.

Did you come up with that 81 behind, 91 ahead line? That’s pretty damn clever.
LOL. literally none of those things are true. Jesus. Black lives matter, sure, bout the same as any one elses. 0.
Hey look, another troll with a baby account. LOL
That is literally the point of the Black Lives Matter movement: stop treating black lives like they matter less than anyone else’s.

See his insults are still here. Funny that. And “Fraser Crane” is less an insult than just accurate

Are Gen Xers Right Leaning?
I would guess some are. I would guess some are left leaning and some would be independent, middle of the road people.
Just like every other generation before and after Gen X. But big broad brush statements makes arguing on the Internet easier.
Look at the fucking link!
