They are Gen-Xer's like me. We grew up watching Reagan on TV, all the anti-communist movies of the 80's and even though the music could be debauch it was still generally pro-American. Most Americans were pro-life and your high school teacher still gave you their conservative opinions without fear of being sued.
I grew up assuming that America is a conservative country.
Now Gen-Yer's, I don't know. They make me nervous. lol
The Yers (kids of earlier, hippyish Boomers) were groomed by the parents to be radicals. I'd say about 60 percent of them are, the rest rebel against their parents and have more in common with Xers and Jonesers.
