Gen X is the last generation which was not 100% miseducated like the Moronials and Generation zzzzzz
And now you are saying there might never be a Gen-X President (as if Donald Trump did some sort of credit to his generation in that role).
I read that and thought that she was saying that Trump was effectively a GenX president. He had sort of a GenX sense of humor and familiarity with the media. I see now that she was making a dig at him, even though he was the best president of this century.
Obama was sort of a GenX president. He was born in 1961, but had more in common with Americans born in 1971, 1981, or 1991 than with Americans born in 1951 or 1961.
So did GenX "get it" before the rest of us? Well first of all, "generations" only cover so much. Whatever your generation, you didn't do the things other people in your generation did.
Secondly, GenX did grow up with a lot of the ideas and social developments we are going through now. But they didn't necessarily want to take them any further. You could grow up with divorced parents and not want to be divorced yourself. You could have friends of different races and sexualities without accepting every racial and LGBT idea.
Did many Xer parents really raise their kids to believe that race, gender and even heterosexuality are social constructs? And do those kids really think that way about race?
I rented a car in Germany 8 years ago, and it was a stick, the memories flooded back.
China (the world’s largest car sales market by far) is about 65% automatics and rising.
59 here but yea, I was raised on most of that too.
I’m a Gen Xer and my friends and I were worried about others our age pushing political correctness in the 90s. And the boomers told us it would never amount to anything. You reap what you sow.
This person is what used to correctly be called a “useful idiot”.
I’d say she’s also a regular idiot.
outsourcing to China is what hurt the working class taking away its middle-class status. I won’t say destroy the middle class because it is still here and is mad along with those in the working class that 30 years ago would have been considered middle class... new moto for 2024 presidential election Make working class middle class again.
Is there a point to this screed? WTF?
This is the most pointless thing I’ve read all month.
Dear Kara Post-Kennedy,
Hate to see a fellow Gen-X so thoroughly indoctrinated by liberalism. How did you not learn that almost everything you hear, see, and read, is a lie, carefully curated to produce your “opinions” that you now preach like a good little drone? Do you remember Tiananmen Square or were you too busy marching for the “pro choice” movement? Where were you during the Clinton years how did that not wake you up to the rot and deception of liberalism?
Whatever, I don’t really care about your opinion much, because I actually do get it. Take your hyphenated name and your “white patriarchy gender social construct” liberal indoctrination and jam it.
I am in the middle of GenX. Some of the writer’s observations are true and some are a product of the state. Either way - not into generational wars.
Every generation has admirable features and ugly characteristics. It may be that the 15 to 25 year olds get us out of the crap that has been created.
My first presidential vote was for Barry Goldwater.
I’m totally embarrassed that the current occupant of the White House is a member of my generation.
Some trivia.
In 1968 the Democrats won 47% of the (21) to 29 year old vote, in 1972, they won 46% of the 18 to 29 age group, in 1976, after Watergate, and with the weak, moderate (and under suspicion) Ford, against what appeared to be a social conservative Democrat with a strong military back ground, the Democrats picked up 51% of the 18 to 29 year old vote.
My parents had a party line until the early or mid 80s. Rotary dial into the 90s.
Why do boomers get 20 years but Xers only get 15? Realistically at generation should be something like 25 years, but certainly no less than 20 years.
Those born in the late 60s and early 70s did. Can’t speak for those born after that.
We get hosed. Whatever, we’ve got Mtv...
:)
“And the children we have raised are groundbreakers–rejecting gender stereotypes, patriarchal rule and systemic discrimination in very loud voices. They GET that race, gender and even heterosexuality are social constructs.”
So if gender is a social construct, how come so many girls are getting their breasts removed and growing beards as a solution? Why use a biological “solution” for a social problem.
Sounds like this Gen Xer has both drunk the Kool-aid and mainlined it.
That is one silly Self-centered d-bag. Bragging about his/her own perceptiveness. (Mom must be saying, “My child is so cute and clever.)
