Gen X: We made “whatever” our philosophy and it works. Lol

“Eat My Shorts” is post-GenX. “Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose” is pre-GenX. The GenX response is probably “Gag Me with a Spoon.”

The X’ers are a pretty special group. Kari Lake is one of them. The boomers, of which I am one, wrecked everything, and this current group of ruling fossils and ghouls is largely boomers.

My son son once said, “No offense Dad, but your generation needs to die.”

Aren’t Gen X’ers getting dangerously close to “get off my lawn” age?

I and both of my best friends exactly fit all these categories. There used to be Democrats who were sane and who you could consider voting for but those days ended around the time Obama came along.

I’ll add, he has a great point. I remember the 1980s. It was fun. America was a much healthier and much happier country back then.

We actually had a GASP! sense of humor. Yes, especially if it was rude, crude and vulgar. Remember Sam Kinison? It was funny! You could still make jokes about various groups. We knew not to take it seriously and everybody could laugh at themselves and at everybody else without going around desperately seeking to claim they were “offended” and were a “victim”. They’d have just been told they needed to toughen up and develop a sense of humor if they tried that back then.

Most institutions operated on the basis of merit.

The military was not weak.

We did not get involved in constant foreign wars.

We had a much more unified culture having not been hit by gigantic waves of both legal and illegal immigration. In fact, if you wanted to immigrate to America, you generally had to show you would not be a burden on the taxpayers.

Almost everybody expressed full throated support for free speech.

PC Revisionism had not yet taken hold of history departments.

It was pre political correctness, pre Gaia Worship, pre Wokeism, pre transgender ideology.

Hell, we even had real football back then. The pussification rules did not come in until much later and hard hits were something to be celebrated. They were a part of the game.

I want it all back.

I just now found out that I’m supposed to identify as a “Gen X-er”. No wonder I’m smarter than these media addicted fools that create such terms.

A poll of 5th graders at the local school all say that Joey Biden is a punk and if he came to their school yard, they’d beat his sorry @$$ and throw him in the septic tank. Duh.....

Born in January, 1965, so I’m one of the very first gen xers. Been a republican since 1992 when I discovered Rush. We grew up before the computer age, but were still young enough (in our early twenties) when they came about to take advantage of them and grow with the internet age. Knowing the people in my age group, I don’t find this surprising.
