I think Gen X went from “invisible” to “the enemy” in a lot of folks’ minds when exit polling showed that they broke for Trump in 2024 by a greater margin than any other age group.

Nobody ever really talks about Gen X.
There are no widespread positive opinions. Not really any negative ones either. They just kind of exist. Silently.
They experience neither highs nor lows so it makes sense
