Americans born in the 1960s

It was the lead poisoning.

Nah. Our parents and grandparents were the ones who fought for unions and a living wage thru the Depression. They were grateful for FDR and his policies. That never changed. I don’t recognize these asshole Trumpsters. They’re like aliens.

I was born in 1961, and don't like being lumped into any group.

I think we're called Generation Jones r3.

Weren't you guys the real Yuppies just like Bret Easton Ellis?

I was born in '69 and I did NOT want nor vote for Trump, thank you very much.

My mom was born in 1960 and no one hates Trump more than her and her friends.

Why Trump is the Gen X President

Some were or just wanted to be r5.

Lmao. Trump is absolutely Gen X's first and last president.

Laura Ingragam, Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, Kristi Noem, Mike Lee

Sad list r11

R11 and yet they're the ones who want to bring the 1950s back that they never even grew up with.

Maybe because they grew up with Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, they think they're some entitled expert group on the 1950s?

R13, more like repeats of Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons, and Father knows Best. Before hippies and long hair.

R14 Well what a shame that you went from Leave it to Beaver to American Psycho!

WTF happened to you all?

I was born in the South in 1961 to very liberal parents who were active in the civil rights movement. My parents HATE Trump. They were both born in the 1930s and are what remains of the Silent Generation. The only way that I would vote for Trump would be if he was running against Hitler himself. My nephews, both born in the middle 1990s, voted for Trump.

Obama will likely be the only president they'll ever see. I hope they enjoy that.

Our as in yours. There was tons of opposition. Most of the country was Republican.

Obama is Gen Jones, there goes OP's whole thread down the crapper.

Who cares? What's more important is the youth of America. Why did so many GenZ vote for Trump?

R20 Probably because they grew up with you ass wipes as their conservative parents?

We never had that problem.

If you are going to play who the parents are, then Gen-X is not at fault either it's their parents Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers. Which actually makes a lot of sense. Boomers love Trump.

R22 The Silent Generation were even worse than the Boomers. Look at Mitch McConnell and Rupert Murdoch. The Boomers, believe it or not, were an actual modernizing influence on them.

I laugh when Gen X brags about their parents being the Silent Generation rather than Boomers.

That just means that these were their parents:

Boomers idea of modernizing was to become the most selfish generation in history. The Me Generation. The silent Gen were live and let live if you didn't agree with them. Boomers are the first gen to make it us vs them. They gave us Regan and the religious right.

Girl, bye R25. Your Silent Generation parents were absolute shit.

There was absolutely nothing let and live about your Silent Gen parents that I linked at R24.

The NOT SO Silent Generation:

Millennials gave us this:

Lauren Boebert - Congress

Matt Gaetz - Congress

Laura Loomer - Trump's personal Influencer

Tomi Lahren - Fox News Host

And we're STILL better than you, R28.

What has Gen X given us lately?

Do you really want me to go there?

Gen Z gave us this:

Gen X gave us this:

Wrong R21, Trump gave us that, and your Gen Z Influencer gave us Trump. How many Gen-X in their 20's were kissing up the the president back in the day with an in person meeting at the White House with a $80,000 gift to the President? NONE. Gen-Z are going to be MONSTERS by they time they reach the current age of Gen-X.
