    Gen X isn’t the problem here. It’s boomers. It’s always been boomers who were the problem.

      Oh now there old friend, I wasn’t making a generalization as to a whole ass generation. I am sure I could commiserate with you as to the fuckery boomers have shit down our backs since they traded in free love for free hate but I try real hard not to drag ass on a removed after 5pm if you get my meaning.

      It’s the 1% vs the working class, not generation vs generation

        Then Trump will only have 1% of the vote then, I feel better.

          Unfortunately, far too many of the 99% see themselves as temporarily embarrassed 1%.

      you have to forgive them for forgetting about Gen X, it is sort of a theme

        In my experience GenX is almost as bad, they have a huge fucking chip on their shoulders instead of believing they are God’s chosen generation

          Depends. Older Gen X is basically like young Boomers. Younger Gen X are basically like older Millenials.

        there were far more Boomers than ever existed in Gen X, likewise for Millenials

          Aight. Like 5 million off still.

          Regardless, more than 5 million still alive are in nursing homes and too ill to manage to vote. 11% of the 65 and over bunch have dementia. The majority of those people won’t vote.

            And your point is (somehow) still that no one from Gen-X votes… or something?

        It’s exactly the opposite–more boomers than Gen X. Also I’m Millenial so relax a bit.

      All that lead they consumed growing up. Distorted their brains and making them clinically insane.
