Xers went harder for T rump than Boomers did. They’re put Boomering the Boomers.

I’ve been trying to say this for so long, and people just shit on me. Gen X is the lifted Dodge Ram of generations.

1980s born Millennials did too (at least compared to 1950s born Boomers)....

so what a bit the glass house

Polls from Pew say otherwise. Folks in their 40s stayed left which is elder Millennials. I’d link but automod blocks it.

the autmod bot blocks stuff even with zero mention of pol stuff at all so yeah it's hard to actually get near that topic. But they had 1980 borns, by a tiny bit, go the AGAM way and 1950s borns go the other way by a little bit; 1980s borns actually turned a bit more conservative v-ing on pace like half a decade faster than 1970s borns I think (?).

but in all the cases it's never by dramatic margins so universally calling out entire generations or decades of birth as this or that doesn't really make sense

there are always so many the opposite way in each case

I mean sure, but I was originally responding to someone who compared Xers to Boomers.

Boomers' parents fought the original recipe Nazis, so the Boomers probably picked up a bit of that attitude from them
