The poll broke down the results by the respondents’ ages, and while the category encompassing Gen X also technically included some younger Baby Boomers, it captured most of the so-called slacker generation. According to the survey, Gen Xers, those born between 1965 and 1980, now prefer a Republican candidate to a Democratic candidate 59 percent to 38 percent, a huge gap unmatched by the other age groups. (Boomers, the next closest group, split at 48 percent for each.)

As a group, they're not stupid. They know they are getting fucked over by the dems, and the libs have just completely jumped the shark with their make believe gender crap. Killing healthy babies ain't helping their cause, either.

DeleteWhat's a rink?
DeleteI think that's a Rino that hasn't been spell-checked.
DeleteI could be wrong. Been wrong before.
Being in the oldest Gen X bracket you can be in and still called Gen X I can only ask what kept em? Gen X has been the number one target for sacrifice and attack by liberals since this whole madness started in the 60's. I have actually always thought the tail end of the boomers born from about 58 and the early GenX's till about 69 should have been put together as our own Generation because tail end Boomers and early X'rs seemed to be closer in experience and lack of solid early prospects than the others from those generations. It was the kids born about then that really had to pay the price for equality and equity that came to fruition in the early 80's for those who were not already settled before that. Then it was that age range that got whatever gains we had made stripped away in the 90's for even more equality and equity then. Not many of us still standing it seems to me but I rarely meet a late boomer or early X'r that votes Democrat unless they are one of the special privileged groups anyway.
ReplyDeleteHad to look it up, but myself born in 1965 I guess I'm Gen X. Each of the classifications span about 20 years and I can state that those of us born in the mid-60's really don't have anything in common with those born in the early 80's. So yeah, 1958 - 1968 should really be a separate category.
DeleteYa I can easily remember being lined up in the same circumstance as many a White Boy who was born before me. Not being part of the split tailed complaining bitches or the always a victim blacks we were the ones expected to pay the price for their guilt. Noticed they never lost their jobs did they?
DeleteAn excellent thought piece. Born in early 61 to a military and medical family. It didn't take long to see the differences between people set in. Let us not forget the first good president of my era, also elected by 49 of the 50 states. Both times and yet the libs and dims will always confuse him with disaster. He was there to clean up the mess left behind by Johnson
ReplyDelete1973 here and want to see the democrat politicians and supporters hung. Willing to help. We can't share a planet because they will not just leave us alone.

I'm partial to defenestration as a means of making them leave us alone.
DeleteMentally, I stood and applauded. One of the best pieces I have read in a while.
ReplyDeleteA great article, I forwarded it along to a few people. I read an article on something very similar a few months ago, but it had to do with why are the 1980's hated so much. The money sentence in the article was this, "Perhaps no other decade in American history - save for the early 1940's - was fueled with such testosterone. That's right! Good old fashioned American can-do, know-how, let's kill the bad guys as 1980"s America and that's a big problem for the ruling elite mainly due to the fact that the majority of them are effeminate girly men who pale in comparison to men of that era. In the 1980's we hit the iron and/or the martial arts! We were unapologetically men. We wore sleeveless t's, drove loud cars, played loud music and settled things the old fashioned way. We valued strength and contests thereof. If we lost, we were told to figure out what went wrong and fix it from there. The girls were clean, feminine and loved traditional guys. We reflected our pop culture icons as well, everyone wanted to be Stallone, Arnold, Jean-Claude, Chuck, Seagal, or Mel Gibson, NOBODY wanted to be Alan Alda!"
ReplyDeleteTruer words were never spoken.
Hey Chris;
DeleteI used the term when I am talking to the younger Mechanics at work, "Its was Reagan's America, the boundless optimism after the doldrums and misery index of the 1970's"
Meh. And those counting the votes will tell gen-x voting for recucklians to "suck our dicks" by adjusting the vote to a more correct outcome. And even if that doesn't pan out the way TPTB want, they can still count on repukes doing sweet fuckall of any actual value to the benefit of the constutuency that elected them. Either way, we lose again by playing their shitty game. Vote with a bullet.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson from the last election was that the actual votes don't matter, who counts them does.
