Gen X was supposed to be peaking. Instead their careers and finances are tanking

Vote for Trump again. And again. And again.

Dumb shit heads!

Bwahahahaha.

Gen X was never supposed to peak OP, they have been the under dog ever since the Boomers ruled the world. Boomers kept all the high paying job, Boomers held on to their wealth until they passed it down to their Millennial offspring to buy houses.

Yes—and our master plan continues to work!

Yes, blame everybody else.

R2 uh didn't they grow up in the prosperous Reagan 80s? They must have taken a lot of those Republican talking points to heart.

Maybe they shouldn't have gone for Trump.

Well the same goes for Gen Z males, White Women, who voted for Trump. Women lost rights for the first time in history and now anyone who has a student loan is going to be forced to pay up bitches. No rescue, no handouts. Sorry it costs 100,000 for a no name school, Boomer did this to you.

R7 who are the parents of Gen Z males? Did you know that Gen X women were the only demographic of women who broke for Trump?

Gen X was the generation most impacted by school busing. They trend conservative on issues of race, though not on gender.

Gen X:

1. Grew up under 12 consecutive years of Republican Presidents and Conservative propaganda.

2. They were the last generation to grow up in a mainly homogeneous and segregated society. It wasn't until their early 20s in the 1990s, when America's population started to become heavily diversified.

3. They were the first generation to experience a major technological transition between their youth and their adulthood, which drastically changed the social and economic fabric of the US.

In other words, the world has dramatically changed, between their childhood years and their retirement years, and they long for the world of their youth - which they will never get back.

But they keep voting conservative, in hopes that it will turn back the clock for them.

No, Gen Z and Gen X did it to themselves by voting Trump.

TONS of Boomers are the parents of Gen Xers, esp. Xers born in the 70s.

Everybody seems to forget about all of the Xers born in the second half of the 70s, of which I am one. We had Boomer parents and were children of the 80s. Kurt Cobain was a full decade or more older than us.

Whatever OP.

Same here, R13.

My parents were both born in 1950, and I was born in 1978. Their siblings and friends were born in the late 40s and early 50s and had children in the 70s and 80s.

At least we got to experience the pre-smartphone, pre-internet lifestyle.

I’m 49 and living this career meltdown right now. I’m a very good saver and was on track to retire early but the wheels have really fallen off my career bus. The struggle is very real.

Just buy two dolls, R17.

This is the year a beanie baby collection might actually pay off.

I'm 55 and will be devastated if I lose my job. I was unemployed for 3 years before my current role, which ate up a lot of my savings. I'm finally starting to recover financially and now this orange shithead is knowingly ruining our economy. I can't imagine I'll find another job after this, not only because of my age but also the increased competition from the millions of other soon to be unemployeds.

If I were a few years older I MIGHT be able to make it work until I can collect Social Security, but that would be at the lowest amount (and I think for people born in 1970 the minimum age is now 65?)

Many of us are FUCKED UP THE ASS WITH BARBED WIRE.

I could bitchslap every fucking one of those idiot MAGAts for doing this. All because they're terrified that some tranny might be pissing in the stall next to them.

"But MUH FREEDOMS!"

At least we have our houses HA HA

Good, you can keep it.

r22 maybe not for long!

Glad a married a millennial who loves to work and is 15 years younger than me. That's my retirement plan. Then my portfolio will have 15 more years to grow for his retirement. Note to self: give blow job tonight.

Why do people on this site continually bitch about Gen X voting for Trump? I’m right on that GenX/millennial line, so I guess technically I could be either, but I was raised more Gen X. Anyway, I’ve never voted Republican in my life. And neither have my friends that are my age. For that matter, neither have my friends who are older than me.

To be clear, I am not a “homeowner” of any kind.

R25 don't be so certain

By the numbers, Gen X leans Trump. What, do you think it’s an entire generation of smart people?

R25- your situation sounds so tenuous. Marriages end overnight. What if your millennial spouse meets someone else? Goes crazy? Has a midlife crisis? Trust me when I tell you he’ll be picturing someone else when you’re giving him a blow job tonight. Just hope it’s a celebrity and someone he doesn’t know.

R29 is any generation entirely smart or entirely dumb? Have you seen millennials and Gen Z? Many of them actually believe that they are an infinite number of genders. Leaning Democratic is not completely indicative of being highly intelligent.

It’s smarter than voting for fucking Trump.
