I think a large part of what signals the end of GenX and the start of Xennial/Millennial is the spread of the Internet IMO - GenXers we're already set on their path to adulthood when it went mainstream and because they were older they didn't get the same innate tools and immunities as Xennials and younger who adopted it during their childhoods.

Xennials jumped into the Internet with two feet - GenX initially saw it as a nerdy fad and a lot of them pointedly tried to stay away from it. I can remember my eldest brother (born in 1976) telling me (1982) around 2000 when I was starting to make money from websites that he saw no use for email outside of work and he'd never own a personal cellphone.

Now he's got a 5G router because he moved to the middle of nowhere and can't live without fast Internet.

In the end nobody stayed off the Internet because it consumed everything, and GenX and Boomers were left WAY easier to con with fake news and social media algorithms because they were too old when they did finally adopt it... not to say everyone younger IS immune, but there's a big skew.

:dead: damn yall trying to make us sound like some old farts.
I think yall are confusing Gen X with Boomers which is hilarious to me.


We grew up with the internet. Dont forget Gen. X were majority of the dot.com founders, first Internet adopters in mass, first internet forum users, first to pirate music etc.

Maybe you mean our adoption to Social Media lagged behind Millenilas?

Gen X becoming more conservative is expected as people tend to become more conservative as they get older.

Watch him end up more pragmatic than his supporters imagined. Then he’ll be hated by both sides and somehow manage to be popular 😂

But what if he only disappoints the shyt out of the commies?

Edit: The reason I say this is that for the most part anytime you see wealthy people turn Marxist/communist it’s usually just to obtain power (Castro for instance). If this guy wins, he will be powerless and isolated if he thinks he’s going to implement that agenda.

EDIT #1 Also, if trump had governed like the "crazy conservative uncle who will absolutely say some shyt that will make you cringe but is gregarious enough to talk to and drink with ANYONE as long as they have some common interest" a lot of people would've been open to him getting that third/fourth term.

EDIT #2 Republicans/conservatives should be VERY worried. If/when the Dems find their version of Mamdani, a lot of the progress they've made in the last decade or so (courts, rollback of the regulatory state, corporate power etc), could very quickly be erased. I mentioned it in the original mayor thread but what impressed me so much about Mamdani is that he took what AOC has been doing over the last 6 years (building credibility outside of the progressive wing; finding a balance between prioritizing institutional power/being a good Democrat with maintaining progressive bona fides) and condensed it into one election season.
