I am part of Gen X. This election felt like to me the first real victory over the Boomers.

How so? Many boomers voted for President Trump. 🇺🇸

Boomers were evenly split between Harris and Trump. Gen X favored Trump.

This election was the realization of the Ron Paul Revolution that many had hoped for in 2008 and 2012.

🤠💯💯💯

Could you elaborate? I feel like a lot of boomers also voted for trump

Boomers vote left.

Do they though?

Plenty of boomers voted for Trump in 2024, but overall they were evenly split for Harris and Trump.

Gen X favored Trump.

You cant grow up listening to Black Flag and vote for Kamala Harris.

Even though Henry probably did.😬

🧐

*me looking up Black Flag*

Ha! ah, got it.

But lots of punk fans (and bands, I think) went full psycho during covid, didn't they?

we used to call those posers 😏

Quite litterally a boomer won over a gen x candidate.

Do you call Kabala a gen x? She's a perfect example of political activist of the 60's. Fuck them.

Lolol stop saying the truth out loud and celebrate your 80 year old young president

When you look at the voting demographic breakdown, it seems like Gen X is what put Trump over the top. I think that's probably what he's referring to.

what a case example neolib comment. use the same nouns and verbs, but talk about something completely unrelated

Same

Obama admin was the gen X win. The foundation of Trumps base is boomers. Shitty clown take as usual

Obama (2008) and Trump (2024) were both favored by Gen X.

I used to not understand how folks who voted for Obama would then vote for Trump but it's a real thing.

popular vote.

Yep

And just to be clear: now I totally get why someone who voted for Obama (and for Bernie in the primaries) would vote for Trump now. It was my ignorance that made that confusing for me.

the good news is that Boomers are dying off at an increasing rate.
