[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Gen X is the last generation that could count on owning a home and building generational wealth for their kids. I think my kids' generation (Gen Z) will be ok because they'll inherit from their Gen X parents who owned homes, has health insurance provided by their employer and had jobs with 401ks and matching funds. Kids of Millennials are screwed, just like millennials are. I get they they want to lash out. [/quote]

I’m GenX and agree with this.

However, the 2009 financial crisis hit Gen X hard at a time that impacted their wealth development. They will never amass as much as the boomers did based on the timing of this. It delayed many from acquiring a home to build equity and build portfolio gains. While they themselves benefitted from lower college tuition, they are paying hundreds of thousands to send their adult children to college. The boomers are completely clueless about all this. Millennials have it the worst but IMO GenX is aware of this.

Also, Trump would have never won in 2016 without the massive boomer vote. Boomers welcomed the monster that is destroying our economy and democracy. It will take future generations decades to undo the damage.

Who exactly are you talking about?  Get your whiny facts straight.

Trump 2024

“ Gen X — which slightly favored president-elect Donald Trump with a one-point margin in 2020 — shifted 9 points toward Trump this cycle. Gen Z favored Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 points, compared to 24 points for President Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, millennials and their boomer parents were less likely to move toward Trump. Millennials favored Harris by one point, a five-point shift down from Biden's six-point margin in 2020. Boomers went from supporting Trump by five points in 2020 to a flat tie between the two candidates this year, and were the only age group that voted more Democratic.“

GenX women went for Trump bigger than any other generation.

The PP was talking about Trump in 2016. And if he hadn’t won then, he probably wouldn’t have been a candidate in 2024. I do blame my fellow Gen X for voting for him in 2024, but Gen Z men voted for him also. [/quote]

In 2016 GenX and boomers had very similar numbers with Trump numbers.   It’s the idiots who kept voting for him that’s so confusing.

The biggest divide is regional.  Southern states have a big hand in America’s slow downfall.   Trump didn’t win in any state in the Northeast or West Coast.  Trump winning certain states correlate with the states that have poor education systems, they don’t invest in education and their voters are ignorant.  [/quote]
