    That Gen Z fighter is going to turn around, hit their trainer in the nuts and call them a boomer.

    Pitting ‘generations’ against each other is a classic tactic to divide the people on meaningless bullshit. Don’t fall for it.

    Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.

    Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

      We were never known for our political acumen, I’m afraid.

        “Caring about things is cringe, like, gag me. Voting doesn’t do ANYTHING so I sit it out unlike you chumps, and I’m telling my kids the same thing.”

        “Why aren’t any interests represented? That must be somebody’s fault. Somebody who isn’t me. Hey, did you get your tickets for Star Wars Celebration yet?”

        The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.

        Not to mention her capacity for change.

    You can always tell you’ve become a stupid person when any of these generation terms come up in your speech in any capacity.

      GenX has been fighting boomers from the start, we’re just exhausted now.

        Bullcrap. We were too busy pretending politics didn’t affect us to fight anyone.

        Fighting? Us Gen Xers followed in the system the boomers laid out. What fighting??? The older Gen Xers got past the door. The younger half got shut out.

        In the same way boomer hippies were “fighting” against their progenitors, sure.

        Wearing flannel and complaining about the status quo does not make you a freedom fighter.
