Cool, none of what you said refutes the generational trends of how these groups act when finally obtaining power.
When did genx assume power?
last I looked most politicians are still white-haired boomers.
I sympathize with GenX being left out of things, but they're statistically insignificant
You JUST commented that we could see how genx is the same as boomers by looking at their track record when they take power.
Then you state that genx never took power, and are insignificant.
???
For all intents and purposes GenX and Boomers are the same generation.
That goes for statistically and socially.
???
Sorry if that offends you in some way.
This is a take. Not a good take. But a take nonetheless.
[Edit to add - Do you just ignore what people say to you, or ask you, and toss out more bullshit in meatspace conversations? Or is that just how it works for you online?]
Certain members of those groups. Not those groups in toto. Most people, of whatever generation, ever really have meaningful power.
Dude guys look at voting records it hasnt been like overwhelmingly the same party in power right so there are people every few years that flip like 30 points or more. So at most the people your blaming in social change are like 30-35% of the pipulation, otherwise we would be that much more liberal or conservative. So blaming generations is like blaming the murder on the bystanders. The only people we have to blame are these idiots transitory or not that get played like suckers for the advertising capability of either side.
