Gen X are, and I speak as a member of this cohort, the biggest fucking bunch of knuckleheads on the planet.

boomies-n-zoomies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Generation childhood lead exposure.

jesterinsocal.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’ve been so disappointed in my Gen X elders. A generation I looked up to as an elder millennial.

mobikscube.bsky.social•32 days ago

Nice to see Gen X continue being perennial fuck ups.

loafsta.bsky.social•32 days ago

I weep for my generation. . .

abw56.bsky.social•32 days ago

strong opinions loosely held, but it's hard to see trump come back from this.

ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social•32 days ago

Zoomers realizing what a bad economy is.

niftyfire25.bsky.social•32 days ago

Zoomers growing up in the best economy in decades and flushing it all down the toilet

blandphilosophy.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah, I hope they don't have to learn how good the ACA is too.

mutantmell.net•32 days ago

Zoomers realizing a meme president isn’t actually funny.

boomies-n-zoomies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Trolling; fun in video games, lethal in politics.

jessicaessica.bsky.social•32 days ago

Millennials, we really didn't want to do a fucking recession again, right in our prime earning years

matthewdownhour.bsky.social•32 days ago

Minimum 1/3 of them are Not Serious People

timbermage.bsky.social•32 days ago

Gen Z is so fucking ass man, I’m embarrassed for us

niftyfire25.bsky.social•32 days ago

They can’t even use a printer

kirbdigi.bsky.social•32 days ago

Same man, fucking Covid made us lose it I swear

Idk why but during High School I felt that we'd be more progressive 🙃

jlu412.bsky.social•32 days ago

Congrats to gen Z finally realizing that you can't pay the bills with memes. Happy for them!

frenchbully.bsky.social•32 days ago

They screwed themselves

lxtruong.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm so ashamed of being Gen X 😂

That’s what happens when the vibes don’t match reality.

norcalgardenofeden.bsky.social•32 days ago

So the kids get it, now will the lazy elite get the fucking message.

jessjunebug.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ugh, Gen X. At least I have evidence now that I do not fit in with my peer group—something I’ve known since high school!

midlifesuezcrisis.bsky.social•32 days ago

guys is it good or bad when the fighting aged population feels economically trapped and disadvantaged by the leader

goodtimedan.bsky.social•32 days ago

We need to have a talk about GenX, just as a nation

mgraalum.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes

koubitz.bsky.social•32 days ago

I keep seeing wildly different numbers for this age cohort, and I think a lot of data on exit polls (I know not the most reliable) said that Gen Z were the least likely age cohort to vote for Trump. I saw a poll the other day saying Gen Z has the highest approval for Trump. Seems strange.

koubitz.bsky.social•32 days ago

I suspect either polling data is still pretty spotty for very young people, which has been an observation by Pew Research. Or maybe it could be that Gen Z is very fickle about Trump and a certain percentage of them flip flop back and forth somehow. But I'm not sure!

hauge319.bsky.social•32 days ago

Fucking 30-44 year olds. We are heroes.

thanksihateit603.bsky.social•32 days ago

The only generation with the media literacy skills to somewhat rise above the deluge of shit and manipulation.

megaweapon5.bsky.social•32 days ago

Survivors of Iraq/Afghanistan and the 2008 economic collapse and we aren’t gonna forget it.

pppgrifter.bsky.social•32 days ago

We are the backbone

mdasilva.bsky.social•32 days ago

Vanguards of liberal democracy 🫡

mikedonnelly.bsky.social•32 days ago

Gen X 45-64, FFS, what's my cohort smoking

mashymremelo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Mom and dad breaking the news the college fund is empty

jimmyalapdance.bsky.social•32 days ago

Gen X so mad boomers forgot about them that they forgot to have feelings and thoughts

qs-not.bsky.social•32 days ago

Checks out. They didnt care enough to set up 529’s and are just far enough where they think a rebound will save their 401k. Theyre also fully settled and not expecting any more major life events like marriage, house, kids etc

jgschraiber.bsky.social•32 days ago

I think it's *incredibly* hard to poll them reliably. So it's a bunch of reweighting of small samples introducing a shitload of noise

fawltarnished.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is what happens when Trump take Switch 2 pre-order.

mdasilva.bsky.social•32 days ago

The youths are waking up. They are having their 2008.

pppgrifter.bsky.social•32 days ago

God willing

They’ve always been at war with Oceania

golenis.bsky.social•32 days ago

They fucked with their video games.

bruin.bsky.social•32 days ago

Biggest beneficiaries of the market decline, if only they are able to keep their jobs…

eliza-p.bsky.social•32 days ago

I wonder how much reenforcement you get between generations - like I’m in my 30s talking to my dad in his 60s vs a zoomer talking to their gen x parents

ijspurcell.bsky.social•32 days ago

TikTok is a helluva drug

snabbkassa.bsky.social•32 days ago

Quimby was right!

repetitiveuser.bsky.social•32 days ago

Honestly annoying as shit that they spiked in his favor *FOR THE ELECTION* and then they sobered the fuck up way too late

emptyjetseatbribes.bsky.social•32 days ago

can't believe George didn't also share his opinion of trump. IDK if he likes him or not

cyberadvisor.bsky.social•32 days ago

That # has to be bogus

alligatortakes.bsky.social•32 days ago

tiktok bad

masmith78.bsky.social•32 days ago

Here’s to hoping the kids won’t get fooled again and become lifelong Dems.

bhendricksen.bsky.social•32 days ago

Lol GenX come on! My theory is we're right in the middle of the Venn diagram overlap of lead poisoning and internet brain melt.

bash.bsky.social•32 days ago

* also mad cow

kleinman.bsky.social•32 days ago

The good news for Republicans is that young Americans' experiences were that they were better for the economy than Democrats, something that hadn't been the case in 40 years. All they had to do was, well, not this.

etxgov.bsky.social•32 days ago

If this doesn't kill the myth that the GOP is better for the economy from now til kingdom come, nothing will.

itseasybeinggreen.bsky.social•32 days ago

If the Trump recession churns out another cohort with Millennials politics, the Republican party might really be finished.

irishoutsider.bsky.social•32 days ago

We’ve hit the critical mass of a party that ate its own bullshit for so long that they’ve moved past grifting on it to thinking it would actually work.

hotrollhottakes.bsky.social•32 days ago

My belief, so far not refuted, is that gen z is gonna get their global financial crisis moment and Millennials should consider how dumb and mercurial they themselves were prior to everything blowing up and ruining them for years

toowoke2joke.on.computer•32 days ago

They liked their treats.

jesterinsocal.bsky.social•32 days ago

Glad to see my generation has been the least likely to buy any of Trump’s bullshit at any point in time.

bmusic.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ashamed by GenX cohort.
