All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

    Which is why more of you voted for Trump than in the past election?

    “In the 2024 election, there was a distinct shift among people ages 18-29 towards Trump, especially in men. Fifty-six percent of young men were in favor of the former President in 2024, compared to only 41% in 2020.”

    At least previous generations waited until middle age before turning hard right. (The I got mine vote screw everyone else vote.)

      So… you’ve quoted that both Gen X and Gen Z voted more for Trump than last time. Perhaps the issue isn’t specific generations, but a larger turn out for Trump across most demographics?

      Or you can always keep looking for reasons to get upset at strangers you don’t know for demographics they belong to that they can’t control. Very bold. We’ll have to see what the crowd thinks when it hits the fashion runway in Paris.

        My point was it isn’t a Gen X, Y or Z thing.

        Kids thinking they’re better than Boomers are deluding themselves. We have the proof it’s getting worse, not better.
