yeah, completely agree. Made worse by the fact that the boomer and gen X generations are really well known for the whole "fuck you I've got mine, i deserve to stay rich and comfortable" attitude....

I get the feeling that shits coming to a head.

Please don’t lump GenX in with boomers. We are the first generation not to have lifetime employment and pensions, the first generation to pay through the nose for higher education, and many of our peers are just barely scraping by at 50 alongside our Millenial and GenZ friends.

Stop the Boomerification of Gen X's voting record and the comparison will go away.

Unfortunately every generation has a plurality that votes “the wrong way.” This includes Millennials: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/04/09/age-generati...

It seems to start happening when people hit 30 years of age. Maybe it’s because that’s when they start having children; I’m not sure.

This is when they stop being simply consumers/receivers and become producers/owners.
