    Gen X here - don’t lump me in with fucking boomers! I’m just as angry as y’all are, and have been for longer.

    That said, thanks for remembering we exist.

      Sadly, I, an Xer, learned yesterday that Peter Thiel was born within two months of me. We’re the same age.

      So yeah, (as with all generations) some of us suck.

      Ted Cruz is younger than me by three years.

      each generation has it’s quirk, due to the situation they grow up in. so it’s also depending on the place you are from.

      from my experience the boomers here tend to think they are the only ones doing “the right thing” but their perception rarely expand their own personal environment or five years into the future.

      gen x has a high percentage of anti vacc and other conspiracy morons, therefore they make up a good chunk of the late raise of camouflaged fascists.

      about millennials i can’t judge too well, because I’m an early one and Gen z is too young.

      and yes, I know counter examples in each case. it’s just a tendency i noticed.
