Baby Boomers vs Millennials

[Biggins]

I am a baby boomer and back in the day I demonstrated the Vietnam war sort of I was in middle school father was stationed at the Pentagon and me and my friends ventured in D. C. just because. I lived through the Martin Luther King assassination and all the riots that followed. It sucked because all the Senators games were cancelled and they played all their games in opposing teams park. But the movement worked imo the war ended civil rights were a main topic and the Senators moved to Texas lol. So when the George Floyd demonstrations were going on it was reminiscent to the war demonstrations to me and talking to co workers I said I am proud of these kids coming out in numbers around the world that they trying to shape their futures just as we did back in the 60’s.
Now back in the day was always low voter turn out especially the midterms I never voted till I was working in the grocery store and a union rep registered me in the break room and she said vote Democrat lol I ended up voting for Reagen. But I moved numerous times and it never even crossed my mind to register. At age 32 I got married and I guess they found me and mailed me a voter registration and I’ve been voting ever since. So what am I getting at,these millennials are coming out in droves to vote and the more obnoxious and divisive these political hacks are the more you are driving the millennials To the polls and for one I am damn proud of them it’s not all peace and love anymore

What about us Gen Xers? No respect.

So important, yet always forgotten or conveniently omitted from conversation.

They suck up every lie, they think the nation practices systemic racism, they think Trump is a Russian Agent, they think Kavanaugh is a seriel rapist, they advocate socialism, they think looting and rioting is a solution, they think I'm a white supremist, they don't comprehend basic economics..............

They're as dumb as they come, a national embarrassment, a joke, stupid kids that think they know how to micro manage the world, they believe AOC is part of the solution

Did I mince any words? I'm trying to make my point perfectly clear



Oh, and whatever they're stupid spoiled brats have, they have because of the greatest generation and the baby boomers

We're the producers, we set the table, they're tearing it all down

They also think college should be free and the general population owes them something. I am probably in the millennial group due to my age closer than the boomers.....but those limp wrist kids these days.

You are just as stupid as those you talk shit about, you are just far too stupid to realize it.

You have Gen X in between the Boomers and the Millennials. Approximately 1965-1980 is Gen X.

Right on brother! We have the best music ever in our generation. You know other than your right wing side you're a good egg Love.

The generational warfare stuff is just a way for people to discuss changing demographics but put it on something else that is more PC to talk about, safe way to frame it. Oh something is so different now, must be that internet.

And I believe the Millennials are in the mid 20's to early 40's range in age currently. So in the context of this thread, the young 18-25 age voters are actually Gen Z. Not Millennials.

As Americans, this age group has lived a great and blessed life. No drafts for wars. Economic booms. We grew up in a simpler world. So we can juxtapose life without I-Phones vs being 12 on summer vacation and having to keep yourself occupied without technology. And we had a blast. Building forts. Playing baseball. Swimming in swimming holes. From sun up to sun down. Great music as you said. Etc etc etc.

Cheers my Libtarded, fellow Gen X Amigo. :toast:

 

[carlitosway]

Indeed.

Spot on Trumpy. I'm libtarded for now but not while Reagan and Bushes were around although W made me sick because or Iraq and the economy. But I digress. I'm also half guinea/spic (Colombian) but thanks to my parents I learned Spanish/Italian and those wonderful cultures and backgrounds.

Cheers! :toast:

Spot on Trumpy.

Easy pal. Never was a fan of Trump and his style. Fan of his policy? Yes. But not the delivery. I'm a die hard Conservative. But not a Trumper by any means.

OK Ok... ends justify the means Rep. gotcha. I have family/friends/coworkers that fall into that category.

Trump was the most similar president to Reagan. Bush 1 was terrible......unless you love China.

I think something got lost in my message I’m not ripping on millennials or generation x I’m pointing out that with all the hate in our country currently is driving the young generation to vote. My generation didn’t register we were to busy smoking dope and dropping acid.

Millenials aren't as bad as many make them out to be

it's more Generation Z, shitting things up these days.
