Spectators

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

Gen X sitting around doing fuck all as usual.

No, they're just less left leaning than millennials were at that age. Millennials voted for (Obama

We had our turn being adults when we were 10.

With Gen Z there's also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they're the Hitler Youth.

That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.

Gen X aren't spectators. They're fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.

How Gen X Delivered the Election to Donald Trump

Generation X is starting to flex its cultural and political muscle, data show.

When a bunch of old MAGA bastards stormed the Capitol, were they using walkers because they're over 70 on average or were they a crowd about 45-60 in age?

The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn't want it any other way.

No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.

Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.

Events in one’s lifetime impact them more than the alignment of the stars

Wow, I can't believe you'd just ignore Girl's Generation.

Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.

And then fortnite dance in their face while they're hunched over.

Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don't really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.

They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won't rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.

They may pretend they aren't here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don't do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.

The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They're not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.

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

That's how most of the electorate approaches political analysis unfortunately: the parties supply their politics.

Yes, but those events and the relative importance of those events are highly variable.

Someone living in the 80s in a small town in Scotland is unlikely to have lived through the same 80s as someone running a FTSE company in New York at that time.

There's this idea, and I think it is particularly American, that the whole world lives to their narrative. The narrative of the rather privileged middle class.

For example when we talk about the 80s the narrative is big hair, cocaine, excess... But that's only true of a very small proportion of the world. I know plenty of folk that didn't see a cell phone until the early 2000s.
