    Gen X

    Hey, someone mentioned us!

    that voted for Trump

    I guess it’s true that people generally grow conservative as they get older, but come on guys, we were better than this. Plus both Gen-X and Boomers knew about Trump and his shit long before he became political. Did all the ones voting for him as some better choice get dementia or something? I never forgot how the first times he tries running for office even as a Democrat it was more of a joke than anything else. Still is, but Jesus, people bought it hook, line, sinker, pole, boat…

      some other instances is how some became more conservative, is in the west coast i was in a college class where someone became more conservative when they moved here. i suspect alot of transplants are conservative flee to more “blue areas” because alt-right was too crazy for them, and of course job and education opportunities are lacking, so they bring thier conservatism here too. its purely selfishness.

      Go look up how lead poisoned our generation is. No one should rely on Gen X for shit. We failed the country this past election for sure.
