Gen X and President Biden: Reality bites

"Gen X is the most Republican of the generations," said Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University and author of the book Generations, which examines what drives generational differences.

Twenge says that political leanings of generations can be influenced by the popularity of the president when that generation is in adolescence or young adulthood. For Gen X, that is largely defined by an unpopular Carter and a popular Republican president, Ronald Reagan.

Gen X here. All I remember about Reagan is his Spitting Image puppet. Funny.
I grew up with Thatcher. Didn’t make me a conservative.

In 2020 my brother said “Are those two old farts the best you can come up with?”
I agreed, but Biden got my vote, obviously, and he will do again. But, damn, he is TOO OLD. I was under the impression that he was going to save us from Trump, then step aside for the younger generation. But no, he got power and can’t give it up. He’s a decent guy. Sad.

I’m mentally preparing for another 4 years of Trump. Oh well. I’ll probably get another tax cut. We’re doing well. If the rubes want another 4 years of being taken advantage of, let them have it.
