These people are Americans just like you. Some are conservative and some are liberal. Guilt by age seems to be a new theme with Gen X'ers who also seem to be obsessed with some kind of inferiority complex that makes them beat their chests over nothing.
I'll call myself an American rather than a Gen Anything and you can deal with that.
My generation accepts that we will forever be a minority in society and largely ignored by politicians (not the "right" kind of minority). We will be there to pay for other larger segments of society while receiving little in return.
What can you do about it...
