    Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.

    Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

      We were never known for our political acumen, I’m afraid.

      I am disappointed but not surprised by my generation at all. Last generation where general racism and other boomer traits could really take hold thanks to boomer parents passing them on. We’re also getting old enough for some of us to embrace that “get off my lawn” mentality.

    The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.

      You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.

      We’re so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:

    Let’s ignore discrepancies in economics, geography, race and culture and suggest people behave, en mass, based on the decades they were born in.

    This is just astrology for the politically feeble.

    Weren’t the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn’t align with Millennials?

    I’m pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump

    Could be wrong though

    I’m so tough. I’m the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren’t tough enough. I’m the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I’m tough.

    You can always tell you’ve become a stupid person when any of these generation terms come up in your speech in any capacity.

    TBH I blame Gen X the most. Boomers are going extinct soon, Gen X at the oldest are about 60 or more.

    This fucked up world is Gen X’s world.
