Our youngest President (by a 15 year margin!) was Barack Obama who was a late Baby Boomer. If/when Trump does, Vance will become the first Millenial president.
Meanwhile in Congress, Gen X only this year achieved a plurality in the House at 41% (versus Boomers at 39% and Millenials at 15%). In the Senate, at 28% we’re still far behind the Boomers with their 61% and Millenials are far behind at only 5%.
I’m honestly appalled at how many of us Gen Xers broke for Trump (even more than Boomers), but with our smaller numbers (65 million vs 74 million Millenials), we weren’t enough to push him over the finish line alone.
Sorry my generation hasn’t done more to make the world a better place, but honestly we’re getting fucked more than we are doing the fucking.
