As a 55 year old that is incredible and a seismic shift. People like Charlie Kirk doing work

The rationale I’ve seen and liked is we are young enough to know the main stream media is lying and old enough to know that tik tok is bullshite.

Children of Reagan. We wanted to be like Donald Trump. We're the Red Dawn generation. Grew up on Chuck Norris, Rambo, Rocky IV, Iron Eagle etc. American flags and American exceptionalism everywhere.

We saw what America could be under Reagan and are determined to not only reclaim our former greatness, but truly unleash the full potential of our country and it's people. 'Cause we 'Murica!!!! more and better than any age great except the Great generation.

Don't sleep on Gen Z coming up. That's the generation of kids we Xers raised. My 22 yr old and his friends are MAGA, have been since 2016 when they were 14. My 14 year old nephew and his buddies are MAGA.

Sure, kids are always a little more liberal when they are younger, but once they get a little older they grow more conservative. I actually think Gen Z will be fine because they will get to witness America's rise to glory like we did under Reagan.

That scene of Auburn students rolling Toomer's Corner was glorious. Those are our kids.

Because Gen X went from zero tech to where we are now.

We understand bullshite and also understand we have the right to tell them to frick off.

I have an unhealthy disdain for the Baby Boomers. But never looked down upon Gen X because I feel that their music and art shaped me in the 90's.


This is ridiculous. Boomers vote red overwhelmingly.

The ones that vote blue are dumb and believe political ads that say republicans will take their social security away.

Boomers are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, et al.

Very formative for my teen brain being a GenXer.

That is fine but Gen X were the parents that raised millennials and Gen Z and did a terrible job at it.

I think it's yet to be seen about GenZ. The youngest half are still in high school.

I feel like millennials are split among the older or younger half. Your politics at 29 vs 43 might be very different.

I'm an older Gen X'er, (55) and my kids are all Gen Z and as MAGA as hell. I'm not sure what happened to Millenials. They were the late kids from Boomers by and large because they would be born between 1981 and 1996. Not many Gen X'ers having kids in the 80s. We were teens or younger for the most part.

And the kids born to parents on the younger end of gen x seem to lean conservative as well coincidence I think not.

My two daughters are Ultra-MAGA. My half Mexican son in law and his gen X parents are Ultra-MAGA. The future is bright, we just need Trump to bridge the gap while we wait out these hippie boomers.
