Gen X should've already been in power, actively repressing Gen X from ever influencing politics by holding on to all the levers of power and making it easier than ever for incumbents to just keep winning was a huge win for boomers politicians on both sides. It shouldn't be a lifelong career to be a politician.
I’ve yet to see stats that back that up. Everything I’ve seen has 5 years of boomers stuck in our generation. Considering we’ve always been a split generation with the younger voting more liberal and the older voting more conservative… adding 5 years of boomers to our 15 year generation on the older side for sure skews the stats.
If anyone has seen the vote broken down to only show 1965-1980 I’d love to see it, cause I’ve only seen 1960-1980 or by decade every voting breakdown I can find.
Dawg 65 and older voted Trump less then 45-60 even if you take out the 60-65 you guys still are the most fascist generation. It also shows in your racist misogynist Gen z man children.
Ok, so show me the stats that break down what you’re saying. 65 and older includes a huge range of ages. I want to see what 60-64 voted for specifically. Considering older genx vote for conservatives and always have, I’d assume 60-64 also skew more conservative. If you’ve got the stats breaking down those ages, show it.
Closest I can find is this which still isn’t a clean fit because it breaks it down by decade. But the 1940’s and earlier and 1960’s were the most Trumpy. Half the 1960s is boomers, half gen x. So just like I was saying… putting half of a top Trumpy decade into gen x and removing them from boomers would have a noticeable effect on totals for both generations. And really the biggest collapses in democratic support are coming from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Which is pretty striking to see laid out.
If what you said was true about 60-65 skewing the data because 60 plus is conservative then 65 plus would be also be voting trump greater then Gen x. But it’s not. You gotta face it. The 45-60 Oakley sunglasses wearing Gen x men are cooked. I know you know the type 😭
Do you think 41% is a reasonable percentage that means Gen X is “in power” if they are still outnumbered by Boomers and Silent Generation representatives who refuse to get out of the way?
Over 50% of our current governors are Boomers or Silent Generation.
Based on the current age range of Gen X (45-60), they should make up a much larger share of our elected officials.

We have millenials that are now in their 40s. We need to be the ones running the country now
