All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

Well somebody voted for Trump. I’m X but many X’s must have gone MAGA. I can’t say my generation is any better.

For the past 20 years all I’ve heard is “fundamental Christianity is dying” “things will get better as Boomers die off”

I thought those things were true until like 2 months ago. I’m sad to have been proven wrong by millions.

Many people across a wide swath of age ranges and demographics had to vote for Trump for the numbers to turn out how they did. I feel that trying to find some small subset of people to blame is a self defeating choice compared to truly trying to understand what drew people to vote for him rather than Harris.

It’s not hard to understand.

The electoral system gives an advantage to rural states. Those states are significantly religious and want to ban abortion nation wide. Trump gave them the first step. They want the next.
