@paninid I think that (*not all) Boomers are uncomfortable with the reality that, while Gen X helped turn the tide, once Millennials began voting there has only been one Presidential election where the Republican won the popular vote. 🤷♂️
@bransonturner @paninid Gen X cosigns.
@bransonturner @paninid Why would Boomers be uncomfortable with that? The ones I know would be delighted with that.
@daico
you might be missing the context for one of the wildest set of responses I’ve witnessed on Mastodon in 18 months.
@bransonturner @paninid Why target an entire generation, though?

For context, this was the prompt https://inaniludibrio.com/2024/04/15/okay-boomers-make-it-make-sense/
And it was coming from a place of sincerity, not condescension.
@paninid @msbellows had to make the edit.
@paninid @bransonturner I didn't know anyone in the 90s who thought the Clinton impeachment was anything other than stupid, either, and he won both his elections by large margins, so it's not "the Boomers." The Republican minority always has been hypocritical, and the media have always played along.
